Sydney Hardcore Band Hellions Cancel Tour Over Medical Issues

Sydney hardcore hot prospect Hellions had been forced to cancel their upcoming May tour after medical issues befell the group.

Signed to tastemakers UNIFIED, the band had nine shows booked with Newcastle's Trophy Eyes which have now all been cancelled.

“One of us is facing a series of medical issues that have required our immediate attention, both for the individual and us, as a group,” they said in a statement. “The last thing we wanted to do was cancel but touring without any one of us simply wasn't (and isn't) an option for Hellions.”

They added, “We do what we do because the five of us love making music together and it just wouldn't be right to leave anyone behind. We're going to make the most of our downtime and keep writing (and demoing) for our next record, as well as work on re-scheduling our headline dates.”

They released their debut album Die Young last year.
