Money for tickets purchased for the 2012 club tour will be refunded. An announcement of new dates for the rescheduled 2013 shows were promised in the near future. Tickets for those shows will be honored on the new dates.
As a consolation, the group is now releasing its new album, Tre, on Dec. 11. Initially, the album wasn't due out until Jan. 15.
"We feel bad we have to delay our tour, so to make up for it we want to give our fans the music earlier than we had planned," said drummer Tre Cool in a statement. "If we couldn't be there to play it for you live, the least we could do was give you the next best thing."
All of this comes after the band's front man, Billie Joe Armstrong, had an on-stage meltdown at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in September.
"Obviously the timing for this isn't ideal, but Billie Joe's well-being is our main concern," said bassist Mike Dirnt. "We are happy to say that Billie Joe is doing well, and we want to thank you all for the outpouring of support and well wishes that we have received, and we can't wait to see you all again soon."
