Di'Anno posted a message online to fans to explain that he had to pull out of the tour due to an issue with the tour's promoter. He wrote, "Due to a snake (supposed USA booking agent) ripping everyone off in every way possible known to man (and a few ways not heard of yet) the USA tour will not be going ahead.

"After waiting and waiting and waiting and lies and lies and more lies (and then just a few more lies and bullsh**) just like happened to many others before me - I have had to admit defeat to this lowlife and forget about the USA tour for now.

"As you can imagine, money changed hands over there in the USA (not my hands I might add) and keeping me suppressed was the best thing to do whilst it was all stashed away.
