U.S. rock band Green Day on Friday called off all of the Asian shows in its upcoming world tour because of the coronavirus outbreak, the latest music act to pull back from performances in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The punk band\u2019s Hella Mega tour was planned to have taken them to Singapore, Bangkok, Manila, Taipei, Hong Kong, Seoul, Osaka and Tokyo in early March, before a European leg due to kick off in Moscow in May.\u201cWe have unfortunately made the difficult decision to postpone our upcoming shows in Asia due to the health + travel concerns with coronavirus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We know it sucks, as we were looking forward to seeing you all, but hold on to your tickets we\u2019ll be announcing the new dates very soon,\u201d Green Day said in a statement on its official website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The move followed the decision by South Korean boy band BTS the biggest K-POP band in the world to cancel four concerts in Seoul\u2019s Olympic stadium in April that were due to kick off its latest world tour, citing concerns over coronavirus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
BTS, whose new album \u201cMap of the Soul:7\u201d topped charts in Germany, France and Britain on Friday and is expected to do the same in America, has spent the past several weeks in the United States, where they recorded a performance at New York\u2019s Grand Central Station and appeared on \u201cCarpool Karaoke\u201d with late night TV host James Corden.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
