The Jezabels: Keyboarderin in Krebsbehandlung – Tournee abgesagt
Keyboarderin Heather Shannon muss sich einer Krebsbehandlung unterziehen, die Konzertreise der Jezabels muss abgesagt werden.
Die Jezabels müssen ihre Tournee absagen, da sich Keyboarderin Heather Shannon einer Eierstockkrebs-Behandlung unterziehen muss. Betroffen sind in Deutschland vier Termine (Berlin, München, Köln und Hamburg zwischen dem 13. und 17. März).
„Ich bekomme hier in Sydney die bestmögliche Therapie“, gab Shannon in einem Statement bekannt. Gleichzeitig rief sie dazu auf eine Spende an die Forschung zu entrichten: Ovarian Cancer Australia.
Statement der Band:
„Three years ago Heather was diagnosed with a unique type of ovarian cancer. Although she has been able to maintain life as usual generally, between treatments, the time has come for her to undergo further immediate treatment which will require her to stay in Sydney.
We were very excited to be hitting the road again in support of our third album, SYNTHIA, but sadly due to a sudden turn of events Heather’s condition requires attention now so touring in the proposed time frame is no longer possible.
Persönliches Statement von Heather Shannon:
„Up until now, I have preferred to not let this diagnosis get in the way of getting on with life. I feel a deep frustration at this new roadblock, as I now have to take a step back and undergo treatment. The band means so much to me, and cancelling the tour has been a very sad decision. I am hopeful that in the near future we will be back on the road again playing music we love. This album means so much to us, and we were so looking forward to sharing it live with everyone.
Having said that, I feel very lucky to be in the care of the public health system here in Australia. I have met many inspiring people and I am receiving the best treatment possible. There is a lot of research going into ovarian cancer at the moment, and a big push for awareness. If you would like to make a donation to either help awareness or research, follow the links below:

Das neue Album von The Jezabels, „Synthia“, erscheint am 12. Februar.
