The statement said: 'It is with a really heavy heart that we have been forced to postpone four shows on this UK tour due to unforeseen technical and logistical challenges

'As you may know, the Delta Tour is by far the most ambitious show we've put together and we have had to free up some space in the schedule to be able to execute it, given some obstacles that have come up in production.'

The band added it had been an '˜incredibly difficult' decision but added they were '˜left with no other choice'.

The statement added: 'The truth is that it is simply not humanly possible to play these particular shows and we are sorry that the reality of that only truly landed after we completed Belfast yesterday.'

The group also said tickets will be valid for the rescheduled dates and those unable to make the new date will be able to get a full refund from their point of purchase.
