This is what they band have to say:

We are very sorry to announce that we must cancel the upcoming Jan / Feb tour. We have decided to put the band on hold while we take some time out after more than 6 years and hundreds of live shows.
We would like to thank and apologise to everyone who had bought a ticket or had planned to come to one of the shows, as well as to those involved with organising them. We don't make this decision lightly and we hope you understand. There are currently no plans to reschedule the dates. If anything changes we will let you know.

Ticket holders should contact their point of purchase to obtain a refund.
