Snow Patrol Postpone North American Tour

Singing pretty can have some ugly results, and Snow Patrol frontman Gary Lightbody can prove it. The band's website reports that due to polyps on the singer's throat, they have been forced to cancel their June tour of North America and reschedule it for September. According to Pollstar.com, the new trek will take place September 6-30 and will hit all of the same cities, with San Diego and Las Vegas added.

Remaining canceled shows:

06-14 Vancouver, British Columbia - Commodore Ballroom
06-15 Seattle, WA - Paramount Theatre
06-16 Portland, OR - Roseland Theatre
06-18 San Francisco, CA - Warfield Theare
06-20 Los Angeles, CA - The Wiltern LG
06-22 Atlanta, GA - Tabernacle
06-23 Washington, DC - 9:30 Club
06-25 Toronto, Ontario - Kool Haus
06-26 Philadelphia, PA - Electric Factory
06-27 New York, NY - Roseland

Since February, Lightbody's diagnosis has progressed from laryngitis to "worrying growths," which were quickly renamed "polyps". While Lightbody is resting his vocal chords, the band's booking agent has been furiously rescheduling shows. Assuming they will play again in July, Snow Patrol's current tour schedule looks something like this.
