The indie-rockers of Bright Eyes have called-off their remaining 2024 tour dates following news of frontman Conor Oberst’s ongoing vocal problems.
The band released a statement on Friday, noting that Oberst has “undergone multiple tests to determine the cause of his recent vocal problems.”
“It’s come to light that he has developed a condition that is exacerbated by excessive singing, requiring both treatment and recuperation,” the band said. “We are confident that with a successful regimen, and continued medical attention, we will be able to return to the road next year.”
The cancelled dates include shows in Los Angeles and Oakland, a festival appearance at Las Vegas’ Best Friends Forever Music Festival, as well as gigs throughout Europe and the UK like London, Cologne, Berlin, Stockholm, and Oslo. Previously, the group had to call-off record release shows in Brooklyn and Omaha, as well as their appearance at Chicago’s Riot Fest.
Bright Eyes’ schedule still stands for 2025; the group is slated to kick-off a massive, 43-date trek beginning on January 16 in Phoenix. They’re slated to perform in venues like Toronto’s History, Tabernacle in Atlanta, San Antonio’s Aztec Theater, Boston’s House of Blues, and The Anthem in Washington, D.C. before wrapping-up late April in West Des Moines.
The Oberst-fronted group first arrived on the scene in 1998 with A Collection of Songs Written and Recorded 1995-1997, alongside Letting Off the Happiness. They continued to release a batch of records throughout the early 2000s, garnering attention with 2005’s I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning and Cassadaga in 2007, featuring hits “First Day of My Life” and “Hot Knives.” They just dropped the LP Five Dice, All Threes earlier this month.
