Depeche Mode (tickets | music) called off Thursday night's (5/11) planned show at the Chicago area's Allstate Arena because frontman Dave Gahan has laryngitis, according to the band's publicist. According to a statement issued by the group, a make-up show isn't currently planned "due to the band's scheduling, but management is looking into it." Tickets for the Allstate Arena show will be refunded at the point of purchase.


The group also ended Wednesday (5/10) night's show at Kansas City, MO's Starlight Amphitheater earlier than planned. "Coming off three concerts in Mexico, Gahan's voice was challenged throughout the concert by the unusually cold temperatures at the venue," the statement read.
The band--which offered its "sincerest apologies to their fans in Kansas City and Chicago and want to thank them for their longtime and dedicated support," is scheduled to resume its North American tour Saturday (4/13) in Wantagh, NY.

I hate you. I'm just a wee bit jealous so you must post a review or something.

i think this tour is exactly the same as the fall/winter one. it was lots of fun except the middle part with all the slow martin gore songs, it dragged on, everyone headed out for the beer stands.
