Placebo have postponed their concerts in Munich, Germany, and Vienna, Austria, after frontman Brian Molko was diagnosed with acute laryngitis. The band announced the change on Monday, November 9, just hours before their scheduled Munich performance.
The Munich show, originally set for November 9, and the Vienna concert planned for Tuesday, November 10, will both be rescheduled. New dates have not yet been announced.
According to the statement shared on Placebo’s official Instagram account, Molko had been struggling with severe flu-like symptoms but continued to perform because he did not want to disappoint fans.
His condition worsened on Sunday, prompting the band to call a doctor. After being examined on Monday morning, Molko was diagnosed with acute laryngitis and advised not to perform either of the upcoming shows.
“Brian has been struggling with extreme flu symptoms but has chosen to push on through and continue to perform shows because he didn’t want to disappoint anyone,” the announcement explained.
The band added that the singer had been “ordered to rest” on medical advice.
Molko and bandmate Stefan Olsdal issued a joint apology to concertgoers affected by the late change.
“We are so sorry for this late postponement and we fully understand the disappointment this will cause all of you who’ve bought tickets,” the musicians said. “We will do everything we can to reschedule these shows as soon as possible.”
Fans have been instructed to hold on to their tickets while organizers finalize replacement dates and refund arrangements. Ticket holders will be contacted directly with further information.
At the time of the announcement, Placebo had not provided new dates for either concert or announced additional changes to their tour schedule.
