The rescheduled tour from Madchester legends Happy Mondays has been cancelled after the band's management and local promoter KillRockStar Big Dog Entertainment failed to come to a "mutual agreeable solution".

The local promoter has released a statement claiming that the rescheduled tour, “has now been cancelled by the band's management citing medical issues with drummer Gary Whelan.”

They added, “While details remain hazy, a mutually agreeable solution could not be found to rescue the tour. Happy Mondays management officially cancelled the tour over the weekend.”
