Pearl Jam<\/a> have postponed all their upcoming Gigaton U.S. tour dates because of the ongoing spread of the coronavirus.<\/p>\n

The tour was supposed to kick off March 18th at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto and wrap up April 19th at the Oakland Arena in Oakland, California, but it will now take place at some indeterminate point in the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve worked hard with all our management and business associates to find other solutions or options but the levels of risk to our audience and their communities is simply too high for our comfort level,\u201d they wrote in a statement.<\/a> \u201cAdd to that we also have a unique group of passionate fans who travel far and wide. We\u2019ve always been humbled by this and respect their energies and devotion. However in this case, travel is something to avoid.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt certainly hasn\u2019t helped that there\u2019s been no clear messages from our government regarding people\u2019s safety and our ability to go to work,\u201d they continued. \u201cHaving no examples of our national health department\u2019s ability to get ahead of this, we have no reason to believe that it will be under control in the coming weeks ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n

As of now, their European dates in the summer are on the books, but it\u2019s quite possible those will eventually be postponed as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cAgain, here in Seattle what we are witnessing we would not wish for anyone,\u201d the band wrote. \u201cWhat we do wish for the rest of the country is that they can avoid the harsh negative effects of this and retain their sense of community and take care of one another. Just as we look forward to our next concerts and the ability to gather together and play loud songs as energized as ever. We are so sorry\u2026 And deeply upset\u2026 If anyone out there feels the same based on this news, we share that emotion with you.\u201d<\/p>\n
