They Canceled the Whole Damned Tour!

Life in a Bungalow is reporting a full cancellation of the Damned's US East Coast leg of their tour in support of their wonderful new album, So, Who's Paranoid? (buy here!)

I was going to be at the Washington, DC show last night, the Asbury Park, NJ show on Friday, and the Philadelphia, PA show on Saturday, so I am greatly disappointed -- this was how I was going to be ringing in the new year and celebrating my birthday!

As yet unconfirmed reports are that Dave Vanian has the flu. If true, here's hoping he gets well soon. The flu is no fun!

As of this point in time, the Damned's website, Official Damned.com, is only announcing last night's DC show, today's planned NYC mini-show, and tonight's Poughkeepsie, NY show as canceled; the NJ and Philly shows are still being advertised. Perhaps a glimmer of hope?
