.PearlJam's North American tour has been postponed due to coronavirus fears
The rock band took to social media on Monday to share the news in a lengthy message."As residents of the city of Seattle, we’ve been hit hard and have witnessed firsthand how quickly these disastrous situations can escalate. Our kids’ schools have closed along with universities and businesses. It’s been brutal and it’s gonna get worse before it gets better," they wrote.
"Unfortunately, communing in large groups is a huge part of what we do as a band and the tour we’ve been busy planning for months is now in jeopardy... We have and will always keep the safety and well-being of our supporters as top priority," the message continued."So it is with deep frustration and regret that we are forced to make this most unfortunate of announcements...
"Again, here in Seattle what we are witnessing we would not wish for anyone," the message concludes. What we do wish for the rest of the country is that they can avoid the harsh negative effects of this and retain their sense of community and take care of one another. Just as we look forward to our next concerts and the ability to gather together and play loud songs as energized as ever. We are so sorry… And deeply upset..
The tour is the latest of countless that have been canceled or postponed due to the global pandemic. See Pearl Jam's full announcement below.
