Simply Red Postpones 40th Anniversary Tour and Album Release Amid Health Concerns
In a surprising turn of events, Simply Red has announced the postponement of their highly anticipated 40th Anniversary Tour and the delay of their upcoming album release. The band cited unforeseen health issues within the group as the primary reason for these changes.
Originally scheduled to begin in September 2025, the 40th Anniversary Tour was set to celebrate four decades of music with performances across the UK and Ireland. Fans were eagerly anticipating the band’s return to the stage, including shows at iconic venues such as The O2 Arena in London and Co-op Live in Manchester. However, due to recent health concerns affecting members of the band, the tour has been postponed indefinitely.
In addition to the tour delay, Simply Red has also postponed the release of their forthcoming album. The album, which was expected to coincide with the anniversary celebrations, will now be released at a later date to ensure the band’s full participation and commitment to the project.
Frontman Mick Hucknall expressed his disappointment over the changes, stating, “We were all looking forward to celebrating this milestone with our fans. However, the health and well-being of the band and crew must come first. We appreciate your understanding and support during this time.”
Fans who have already purchased tickets for the tour are advised to keep an eye on the official Simply Red website for updates regarding rescheduled dates and album release information. The band assures fans that they are working diligently to return to the stage and release new music as soon as circumstances allow.
While this news is undoubtedly disappointing for fans, the health and safety of the band remain the top priority. Simply Red looks forward to reconnecting with their audience in the near future.
