(Radio.com) The sisters of Haim have canceled their upcoming European tour dates, but they have a good reason. The band tweeted a handwritten note explaining their decision.

"We'd hoped to be done with recording but as it turns out, we're at a critical point of finishing up and need to stay close to home until it's complete," the note reads.

"We hate to disappoint you guys that had plans to come see us and promise we'll be back in the near future to share our new music with you." Read the band's full statement here.
