Weller
Last December, Paul Weller had claimed that he had caught “the dreaded Covid” whilst touring. This forced the former Jam frontman to postpone the remaining dates for his UK Tour.
“I was so, so disappointed to not be able to finish the rest of the shows”, Weller later shared via Twitter. He added that he “caught the dreaded COVID so that was that!”.
Dear people,
I was so, so disappointed to not be able to finish the rest of the shows. I caught the dreaded Covid so that was that!
I hope we can reschedule the shows for next year. This tour was so great, we loved every show, it was so great to be out again and playing (1/2) pic.twitter.com/2ieXu3Ut0B
