(PR) Disappointing news today as Kaiser Chiefs cancel their upcoming US tour, citing the need to focus on new material. The band will still perform shows in Austin and New York, but the rest of the dates are now cancelled. Kaisers drummer Nick Hodgson issued the following statement: "Wed like to apologize to fans in America and Canada, especially those who have already bought tickets, but something had to give. Weve been extremely busy all year and had no time to focus on the future, we plan to have new material out as soon as possible and weve wanted to record all summer.
"This needs to happen before our European & UK shows at the end of the year so we can play a few of our new songs live, were keen to explore new ground, beyond the sound of our first two records, so were headed back into the studio to begin that process."
