Low have canceled some of their August 2022 shows in Europe, citing drummer/vocalist Mimi Parker’s ongoing cancer treatment.
“As some of you know, Mimi has been fighting cancer,” the husband-and-wife duo wrote on social media today (August 15th). “Recent developments and changes in treatment have made extensive travel impossible at this time. Our hope is that she will respond to new treatments and be able to play the shows we have scheduled for the fall, including the Water is Life Festival in Duluth on September 4.”
The band continued: “We are very sorry for the inconvenience of ticket shuffling and travel expenses/changes. We welcome your positive hopes/prayers as we hope and pray for you all.”
In January 2022, Parker revealed in an interview on the SHEROE podcast that she had been diagnosed with advanced ovarian cancer in December 2020. Between January 2021 and August 2021 — leading right up to the band’s most recent album HEY WHAT — she underwent intensive chemotherapy and surgery. See Low’s statement from today below.
We’re crossing our fingers for Parker’s recovery. Assuming all goes as planned over the next few weeks, Low will support Death Cab for Cutie on a handful of their 2022 US tour dates beginning in late September. If you still need tickets, you can head over to Ticketmaster.
