    1 of 2 2 of 2

      Californian retro-pop duo Foxygen posted on their Facebook page this morning that they are cancelling their summer tour dates in Europe.

      The release reads as follows:

      "We have some unfortunate news. We have to cancel our upcoming EU dates for May/June and upcoming EU summer festival dates. We'd like apologize to all our European fans and supporters. We know this causes frustration and headaches for ticket buyers and promoters alike. We assure you this is ultimately for the creative health of the band.  We will back in EU soon and promise to make this up to all of you. Please understand. Thank you again, all of you. Your time, attention and support mean the world to us. Love, Foxygen." 

      North American dates have not been affected, irking some fans.

      Response has been mostly supportive with a few "suck it up, assholes"–type comments thrown in, such as from user Alex Jarman who posted: "...The only acceptable cancellation is a total tour cancellation because of illness. Cherrypicking certain dates is a big F.O. to the fans who've made the effort to make arrangements to see them."
