The Church Cancel ‘Starfish’ 30th Anniversary European Tour

The Church have announced the cancellation of their scheduled Starfish 30th Anniversary Shows due to unforeseeable circumstances in the form of a major injury to their drummer Tim Powles. The Church had been due to celebrate thirty years since the release of their most successful album, Starfish, with tour dates in England, Scotland and Germany next month. Refunds for the cancelled shows will be available from point of purchase.

“In the last minute of the last song, on the last night of the USA tour last week, our drummer Tim Powles suffered a nasty fall off the front of the stage and fractured his foot. Up until today we had wanted to proceed with the shows with our “miraculous one footed drummer”, but new tests reveal Tim has developed a blood clot in his leg, while awaiting surgery.  The high risk of DVT in this condition means that flying is entirely out of the question. After much deliberation today,  we sadly have no choice other than to cancel the upcoming June shows in Germany and the UK – Including the 2nd Annual Church Weekend event.”
