Healy Axes Concerts Over 'Personal Issue'

Travis frontman Fran Healy has cancelled a series of solo gigs in North America over a "personal issue" and to spend "some time" with his son.

The singer was due to perform in Montreal and Quebec in Canada last month (Nov10) but he called off the shows, taking to his website to tell fans: "Hey my Canadian friends, so sorry I had to pull these shows. Some personal stuff came up which meant I had to make the hard decision to abort the gigs. I will return. Full refunds will be given."

Healy also pulled out of a concert in Austin, Texas on Sunday (05Dec10), announcing the news on his website just two days before the gig, insisting, "There were no two ways about it."

Now the Scottish musician has axed yet another performance in Carrboro, North Carolina on Tuesday (07Dec10) to be with his partner Nora Kryst and their four-year-old son, Clay.

In a post on his website, he writes, "So everyone this is seriously the final cancellation. Everyone is asking what the personal issue is. Please don't worry, It's not any life or death situation, it's just that I need some time with Clay, my son. He and (girlfriend) Nora are in New York waiting for me.

"The past week has been the hardest I have had as a parent so I had to do something about it. Montreal, Quebec, Carrboro and Austin I will make it up to you. Atlanta and Boston will go ahead and also the full band show in New York."

Healy is due to restart his tour in Atlanta, Georgia on 12 December (10).
