Red Hot Chilli Peppers have postponed their two planned Irish shows this week.

In a statement this afternoon, the band confirmed that the gigs at the 3Arena on Tuesday and Wednesday night have been cancelled and will now take place next year.

“We are so sorry that we cannot come to Dublin as planned for the next few days. Anthony has been fighting off the flu all week and after the show last night it was clear that he has to stop touring and recover, hence the decision to push back the shows to next year.”



Both shows have been rescheduled to September 20 and 21 with tickets valid for the new dates.

There's going to be a lot of unhappy fans after this news but hopefully he gets better soon!
