Echoing the bunny men canceled their sold-out show at Manchester's Albert Hall on Wednesday night, just moments before it was set to start. The British band is in the middle of their UK tour, called More Songs to Learn and Sing. Fans had gathered outside, ready for the performance, but it got called off due to illness among band members. The group posted a statement on Facebook, saying the show was postponed because of ill health. They told ticket holders to hang onto their tickets and wait for more details while apologizing for the trouble. This came after people had already shown up, some traveling far with hotel bookings. Fans were really upset about the last minute news, many vented frustration online, pointing out they only found out right then too. One person mentioned meeting a fan who came all the way from Antwerp, calling it a huge letdown after the traveling costs. The band has since locked down comments on their social media posts.

1:01Formed back in 1978, only original members, Ian McCulloch and Will Sargent, are still with the group. They confirmed their next sold-out gig in Bristol on Friday night will go ahead as planned. In an Instagram update, they thanked fans for the support and said they're excited to give back on state for that crowd.
