Alkaline Trio have cancelled their UK tour, including their headline appearance at 2000trees.

The tour was meant to begin tonight (July 3) in Birmingham but all of the dates have now been pulled due to vocalist Matt Skiba becoming unwell. All ticketholders will receive a full refund.

"We are immensely sorry but we must cancel our dates in England, including tonight's show in Birmingham, due to medical issues Matt has been suffering from that have worsened," say the band in a statement. "He's gonna be okay but needs to be treated stateside as soon as possible.

"We will be back healthier and stronger!"

Matt later shared a video filmed from Heathrow Airport in which he thanks fans for their understanding following the cancellations and expands on what exactly is wrong with him.

"You guys deserve a better show than I can throw right now," he says. "I got numbness in my feet, numbness in my hands, as you can tell I'm losing my voice so I can't really talk, walk, play or sing. But I'm OK. I'm just a little tuned up but I'm gonna go home and get looked at and we'll be back as soon as we can."

The affected dates are as follows:

July

3 Birmingham O2 Institute
4 London O2 Forum Kentish Town
5 Newcastle,O2 City Hall
7 Leeds O2 Academy
8 Manchester O2 Ritz
9 Cheltenham 2000trees Festival
