The xx's Oliver Sim has announced the cancellation of his North American tour plans in support of forthcoming debut solo album Hideous Bastard.
The musician took to Instagram today to share the news that he would not be going ahead with the run of shows, which was set to include a lone Canadian date in Toronto on October 6.
"Part of the reason Hideous Bastard came to be was imagining playing the songs live," Sim wrote. "But timing is everything and sometimes things don't quite come together the way we'd hoped."
He continued: "The shows booked for September and October are sadly not able to happen so we'll have to wait a little longer to hear these songs in a room together. I'm sorry for any inconvenience caused but I look forward to putting on a truly hideous show for you very soon."
The singer-songwriter added that ticketholders would be able to request refunds at their point of purchase.
