The Black Keys’ Patrick Carney says band “got fucked” ahead of sacking management for North American tour cancellation
nme.comThe Black Keys’ Patrick Carney has said that the band “got fucked” after their North American tour was cancelled and they split from their management.The Akron, Ohio band announced their ‘International Players Tour’ back in April, which was to include 31 dates across the US and Canada from September to November this year.However, it was reported late last month that the entire run of gigs had been abruptly scrapped, with no explanation provided.
Shortly afterwards, following speculation that the move was done in light of low ticket sales, the members opened up about the cancellation, saying it was axed and re-planned in favour of smaller theatre venues as featured on their recent European dates.And now, the band’s drummer Carney has spoken out on social media for the first time. “We got fucked,” he wrote in his first post on X in nearly a year.We got fucked.
