The singer is now in London recovering and has been advised by his doctor to take atleast six weeks to recover.
In a statement issued by the bands management the band offered their apologies to fans.
“This is pretty devastating for everyone….we’ve only ever cancelled three shows in Placebo’s 14-year history, however Brian’s health is paramount. Our sincere apologies go out to Placebo’s loyal American fans who have waited a long time to see the band. We will try and do everything to re-arrange the dates as soon as possible.”
Fans who purchased tickets can get refunds at the point of purchase.
