Neck injury forces McFly to postpone their upcoming tour

Hitmakers McFly have been forced to postpone their upcoming June tour because drummer Harry Judd has an ongoing problem with an acute disc herniation in his neck.

The band were due to kick off their UK run on June 16 with a concert at the Glasgow Academy, but they have now been forced to put the schedule off so that Judd can recover fully.

Judd posted about the cancellation on Instagram, telling his fans that he is "gutted" and feels bad to have to axe the highly anticipated jaunt:

"I’m absolutely gutted that we’ve had to postpone the tour. I’ve honestly tried everything to make it work, but I’d never want to do a tour where I wouldn’t be able to give you guys the 110% performance you deserve every night. I’m going to do all the rehab possible to get myself ready to do the most epic shows we’ve ever put on!"

Frontman Tom Fletcher also posted about the news on his own Instagram page, adding: "So you may have heard that we have had to postpone the tour by a few months due to @juddymcfly getting injured. Really sorry."
