\n\tThe Jesus Lizard<\/a> has called off their upcoming 2025 tour, citing \u201ca serious health incident affecting one of the band members.\u201d The Austin noise-rock band was scheduled to perform in New Zealand, Australia, and Japan in October, followed by a North American run in November. <\/p>\n \n\t\u201cUpon the advice of medical professionals following a serious health incident affecting one of the band members, it is considered necessary as a precautionary measure,\u201d the group wrote on Instagram<\/a>. \u201cThe band would like to convey their apologies to disappointed fans and emphasize that the affected member\u2019s prognosis is excellent. Your understanding and support are very much appreciated as always.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThey added, \u201cAs we cannot currently project replacement dates, refunds will be available at point of purchase.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThe Jesus Lizard currently have no other scheduled shows apart from the now-cancelled dates. The band last played in Australia and New Zealand in 1998, and in Japan in 1996. They have been on the road consistently since last December following the release of Rack<\/a><\/em>, their first new LP in 26 years, including performances at Primavera Festival in Porto and Barcelona. <\/p>\n \n\tRack<\/em>, released last September via Ipecac Records, found the band\u2019s classic lineup of singer David Yow, guitarist Duane Denison, drummer Mac McNeilly, and bassist David Wm. Sims reuniting in the studio for the first time since 1998\u2019s\u00a0Blue<\/em>. Following their initial breakup in 1999, the Jesus Lizard staged a couple of reunion tours over the past quarter-century, but it wasn\u2019t until more recently that the group decided to reconvene in the studio. <\/p>\n
