In a detailed post on the Brit band’s website, Young detailed his vocal problems, saying he’s about to go under the knife for the third time this year.  The band will return to the road for an Oct. 26 gig in Paris before commencing a U.K. tour with Arctic Monkeys scheduled to begin Oct. 28 in Nottingham.

From TheVaccines.co.uk:

“Canceling shows in exchange for repeated hospital visits plain f**king sucks. I know it may seem unfair that we continue to visit certain places whilst failing to visit your city or country, but touring is all we have ever wanted to do, so to suggest that we may not want to play a show, or that certain shows take priority over others, is not true. We are simply following the Doctor’s orders.”

The Vaccines were to begin their North American tour at Seattle’s Crocodile Sept. 8 on an outing that didn’t wrap until the band reached New York City Oct. 1 and included appearances at the Austin City Limits Music Festival and Philadelphia’s Popped! Festival. The band has rescheduled planned October shows in Germany, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden and Belgium for December.
