Placebo canceled their US tour beginning in September. According to Placebo.co.uk Brian collapsed during his first song at a festival in Japan. Doctors say he suffered a virus in Asia which, coupled with jet lag and exhaustion suggest he and the band take a six week break from touring to rest and recover. I smell bullshit.
I am thinking its a conspiracy for a few reasons. After this announcement, another one stated that Placebo will still do the Leeds Festival on August 28th and 29th. :/
Another reason, bands have canceled tours before because of lack of album sales. Lets be honest, this isn't the best Placebo album ever made. I love selected songs (certain tracks off Battle of The Sun are their best work) but its not selling here in the States. I would not be surprised if they take this little break to chill out, put money into some advertising here in the colonies or just schedule more dates in the UK. Either way, i am disappointed.
