Sad times for all of us Cranfans. Dolores’ back injury is not healing as it should be and the North American tour has been cancelled.

You can read the band’s official statement below:

***** The Cranberries – Statement *****

The outpouring of support The Cranberries have received from fans and followers during the past several months is greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately Dolores O’Riordan’s recovery from her ongoing back problem which forced the cancellation of most of the band’s European tour this Summer has not been going as well as expected to such extent that her Doctors have now instructed her to cancel her upcoming almost sold out tour of North America with the band.

Dolores and the band are very disappointed that it has come to this and send their sincere apologies to all fans and ticket holders, and hope to see you all again in the future when Dolores is well again.

All of the band’s shows in North America from September 11th to October 6th as listed below have been cancelled. Ticket holders should seek a refund at point of purchase.

Dear Dolores and The Cranberries, if you get to read this, we would like to share this brief answer to your letter:

– Health is the only priority; everything else can wait and you Noel, Fergal, Mike and Dolores: YOU KNOW fans have waited and will keep waiting all the time needed. We won’t leave you; you won’t loose us. – Fans will always understand. We are not angry at you and you have not disappointed us. We may be sad and worried, but never angry at you for something like this. – The only thing that would have made us disappointed is to have Dolores go on with the tour despite her injury, because that would have made her health go worse, just to please us… that is too heavy a burden to carry for us your fans. Attending your shows is not only an enjoyment but a need for us, but not at that price.

Dear Dolores, get well soon.
