Faith No More have cancelled their scheduled tours in the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. The group put the cancellation down to what they describe as “current challenges”.

In a statement shared on Facebook, the group wrote: “An update from our camp at FNM. Unfortunately, due to our current challenges, we aren’t going to be ready to perform for the upcoming Australian, New Zealand and UK/European tours.”

They then continued: “To play at anything less than 100% after so long is not an option for us. We apologise to all of you ticket holders, and are forever grateful to our fans for your support and understanding.”

Back in September, the band’s lead vocalist Mike Patton announced that he’d cancelled his upcoming Faith No More and Mr. Bungle tour dates due to mental health reasons. Although it is not clear at the moment whether Faith No More’s latest tour cancellation is related to these ongoing issues or because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The singer revealed via a statement posted by Ipecac Recordings in September about some pre-existing “issues” he’d been suffering from that were “exacerbated by the pandemic” and how they are now proving to be a challenge for him.

“I have issues that were exacerbated by the pandemic that are challenging me right now. I don’t feel I can give what I should at this point and I am not going to give anything less than 100 percent. I am sorry to our fans and hope to make it up to you soon.” He then concluded with these words “The bands support me in this decision and we look forward to working through this in a healthy way.”

Faith No More were also one of the first acts confirmed for next year’s NOS Alive festival, alongside the likes of Imagine Dragons, Royal Blood and more.
