Tom Morello has postponed two scheduled live performances in London and Paris due to a family medical emergency [1], [2].
The move affects fans in two major European capitals and comes shortly after the guitarist's recent appearance at the Download festival in 2026 [1]. Such cancellations often trigger logistical challenges for venues and ticket holders, while raising concerns regarding the artist's availability for the remainder of the tour.
Morello, known for his work with Rage Against the Machine, announced the decision this week [1], [2]. The guitarist addressed the situation in a statement regarding the scheduling conflict.
"I'm dealing with a 'family medical emergency'", Morello said [2].
The postponement impacts a total of two shows [2]. No new dates for the London and Paris performances have been announced as of Tuesday. The decision follows a period of high activity for the musician, including his appearance at the Download festival last weekend [1].
Promoters and venue representatives in the U.S. and France have not yet provided specific details on whether the tickets will be honored for future dates or if refunds will be issued. Morello has a long history of performing in these cities, and the postponement marks a sudden shift in his current itinerary.
