The White Stripes Cancel US Fall Tour
-
Artist:
First came the news of the White Stripes calling off their headlining performance at this weekend's Austin City Limits Music Festival in Austin, Texas. Now, less that a day later, comes the news that the White Stripes have canceled their entire fall tour. 
The reason? Drummer and one-half of the former couple/band, Meg White "is suffering from acute anxiety and is unable to travel at this time." The trek was to officially kick off tonight (September 13th) in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Each date until the tours close, October 13th in Honolulu, has been canceled. However, the duo's UK trek, which begins October 24th is still on. The Muse will replace the White Stripes at their scheduled Austin City Limits appearances, the festival slot on September 15th and the following night's more intimate performance at the city's Stubbs Bar-B-Q.We have heard the "exhaustion" excuse before, but not the "acute anxiety" one. Are they synonyms, for "needs to go to rehab"? Regardless we hope Meg gets better. White Stripes canceled tour dates:Sept. 13: Albuquerque, N.M. (Kiva Auditorium)Sept. 15: Austin, Texas (Austin City Limits)Sept. 16: Austin, Texas (Stubb's BBQ)Sept. 18: Chula Vista, Calif. (Coors Amphitheatre)Sept. 19: Inglewood, Calif.
