Glenn Hughes Cancels UK/Europe Tour

Hughes blames Living Colour’s new management for the conundrum: “I am saddened and disappointed that I will not be able to perform for my UK & European fans as I had originally intended. When I partnered with Living Colour to do this tour, I thought we would be able to make something special happen at these shows. Unfortunately, an undermining manager got involved and in turn ruined what would have been an amazing tour. I can’t wait to get back to the UK and Europe to bring the new songs of Resonate to my fans overseas.”

Resonate is Hughes’ new album, which drops Nov. 4. The tour would have served to promote it in the UK and Europe. Tickets went on sale in April, listing Living Colour as co-headliner. With the band pulling out, promoters were left with no choice but to refund all tickets for the European leg of the tour, which was supposed to start Nov. 8 in Leamington Spa, UK, and end Dec. 14 in Madrid, Spain.

While Hughes’ camp claims that “new management for Living Colour knowingly booked them onto the Alter Bridge tour although they were already confirmed for the Glenn Hughes co-headline tour,” a statement on Living Colour’s website reads: “Legendary Grammy Award-winning rock band Living Colour have announced a rescheduled European tour this November after being forced to cancel a co-headlining tour with Glenn Hughes due to an unforeseen conflict.”
