The band canceled shows in San Francisco, Seattle, Portland and Salt Lake City.
“Touring is different at 34 than it was at 16, when leaving home felt like the greatest escape,” Hayley admitted. “At this age, I have my own home life, a community, a dog, my sisters and the rest of my family who are getting older. Alf and I go on neighborhood walks with my elderly neighbor and her dog. That’s quite a lot to leave behind.”
“But then, we get on stage for 2 hours and I see the world through this joyous, hopeful and wide-open lens,” she shared. “It’s very healing – especially as obsessed and addicted to the daily doom-scroll of local, national, and global news as I am.”
Hayley ended her message to fans by writing, “May need a little extra support for these first shows back – so warm up your voices and stretch your necks. We can’t wait to see you again.”
