It had been the cause of a mix of symptoms including; debilitating headaches, insomnia and bad mental health, which have been hugely impacting my life and productivity in the studio.”“After trying a variety of conservative treatments, I made the difficult decision to undergo brain surgery in November last year.

The surgery, for the most part, was successful and the symptoms have now either been resolved or are in remission, however there were multiple complications that have since slowed down my recovery and presented me with new challenges, that five months on, are still ongoing.”A post shared by Maribou State (@mariboustate)“As a result, we’ve had to make the hard decision of pressing pause on the project for the time being.

We are therefore very sad to say we are cancelling all our live shows this year and postponing the release of any new music.”“We know this will come as very disappointing news for those who have purchased tickets and have been patiently waiting on new music.
