Bauhaus' 2022 reunion was sadly and suddenly cut short when frontman Peter Murphy entered a rehabilitation facility. Things were looking up this year, though, as Murphy recently released his solo album Silver Shade in May and had announced a tour in support of it. Now, unfortunately, that tour isn't happening either.

Murphy announced on Instagram today that his summer tour dates have been postponed indefinitely so that he can attend to some "recent health issues." He didn't give any further details, but he is 67 now, and he survived one heart attack already in 2019. Here's his statement:

It is with regret that, due to recent health issues, I will be unable to perform for you this summer. I am very much saddened by this news. This situation is hopefully temporary, and we will be able to announce shows in support of Silver Shade at some point in the near future. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding. Love Peter x
