The Jezabels release new video 2016-01-22 by Eldar777 | 7 Comments | Australian indie rock band The Jezabels have released the video for the first official single from the upcoming LP 'Synthia' due out February 12. Previously, the band released the track 'Come Alive' but 'Pleasure Drive' is considered the first single.
In a sad turn of events, the band had to cancel their upcoming world tour due to the health condition of the keyboardist Heather Shannon. Turned out she's been fighting cancer for three years now.
Here is the band's statement:
'Three years ago Heather was diagnosed with a unique type of ovarian cancer. Although she has been able to maintain life as usual generally, between treatments, the time has come for her to undergo further immediate treatment which will require her to stay in Sydney.
We were very excited to be hitting the road again in support of our third album, SYNTHIA, but sadly due to a sudden turn of events Heather’s condition requires attention now so touring in the proposed time frame is no longer possible'.
Heather adds:
'Up until now, I have preferred to not let this diagnosis get in the way of getting on with life. I feel a deep frustration at this new roadblock, as I now have to take a step back and undergo treatment. The band means so much to me, and cancelling the tour has been a very sad decision. I am hopeful that in the near future we will be back on the road again playing music we love. This album means so much to us, and we were so looking forward to sharing it live with everyone'.

Simultaneously exciting and depressing news

I think it's mighty impressive of the band to cancel a whole tour for one band member, instead of grabbing someone else to tour instead.
2016 is the year of cancer it seems
