In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the band shared its regrets in having to cancel or postpone all of their upcoming dates. “QOTSA regret to announce the cancellation and/or postponement of all remaining 2024 shows,” wrote the group. “Josh has been given no choice but to prioritize his health and to receive essential medical care through the remainder of the year.”Festival ticket holders are advised to visit specific event sites for updated information.
