Due to some last-minute complications with their visas, Swedish heavy rock band GHOST will not be able to perform on the upcoming tour with ENSLAVED and ALCEST.

A statement from the band reads as follows:

"Due to some last minute complications with our visas, we have been forced to cancel our North American tour. We are sorry towards the other bands on the tour, Enslaved and Alcest. And we are most of all tremendously sorry towards all of our fans. This is truly beyond our control and we are making everything within our (His) powers to be able to come back to the US as soon as possible and perform for all of you.
