Queen's Brian May Sidelined By 'Persistent Illness'

(Classic Rock) Queen guitarist Brian May has cancelled his UK tour with Kerry Ellis to deal with what he calls "a persistent illness which is destroying my energy and my will."

He reports that he'd been struggling with the issue while Queen toured Asia recently, but it's come to the point where he risks "falling down on the job." With no rescheduled dates in place, ticket fees can be refunded from point of purchase.

May says in a statement: "We're very sad today to announce the indefinite postponement of our 'candlelight' concert dates this coming December. This is a decision I've agonized over, but in the end it has become inevitable.

"I managed to complete the recent Queen and Adam Lambert dates in Asia but I have been increasingly battling with a persistent illness which is destroying my energy and my will." Read more here.
