Following a show in Milan on Saturday (10th), Si Franks complained of severe ear pains. These were aggravated by the return flight to the UK and doctors have now confirmed that Si has a burst ear drum. Due to this he is unable to perform for some weeks...
Audio Bullys will announce festival performances for the summer shortly and Tom and Si are keen to get back on the road and in front of fans as soon as circumstances allow...
Refunds for tickets are available from point of purchase and Tom and Si would like to apologise to fans for the cancellation of the dates...
