The Vaccines have canceled their upcoming headlining North American tour as singer Justin Young undergoes throat surgery for the third time this year.

In a statement from the band, Young says that dates will be rescheduled as soon as possible.

“In a bid to allow my throat to recover and rehabilitate completely, we will be cancelling all shows, including our trips to North America in September and Japan and Europe in October…Cancelling shows in exchange for repeated hospital visits plain fucking sucks…I can assure you that if you grant us your understanding and your patience, we will be in your hometown to play for you in the very near future.”
