Chan Marshall's recent cancellation of US dates has, rather inevitably, led to today's announcement that the artist better known as Cat Power is to miss her date at London's Barbican on March 4th.

Matador announced that her US dates would be cancelled earlier this month, posting the following on their website:

"We regret to announce that Cat Power's entire US tour has been canceled due to health reasons. Out of respect for Chan's privacy, we can't give more detailed information, but we hope and assume that you'll respect her privacy during this time as well. "

Information from the Barbican site itself can be found here. A full refund is being offered to ticket holders. The show was sold out.

So yeah, get well soon Chan. Hopefully it's nothing too serious.

She cancelled,

because she knows I'm currently unavailable and she can't take the heartbreak.

I said to her,

"Look Chad"
"Actually, its Chan"
"Whatever, you have to stop following me around and proclaiming love and stuff like that. I just can't. Ok?"

This happened.

Really.

someone should

just try and make sure she gets some help with her drinking...cos im guessing 'health reasons' is to do with that. She is super talented but everytime ive seen her she has been drunk off the scale. including one time where she played for 3+ hours, about half of which consistied of her behind the drums, banging them randomly then laughing and asking how much we paid to get in.
its horrible when something like this can take control of peoples lives...eugh. best wishes to her....
