Sex Pistols postpone North and South American tour after Steve Jones breaks his wrist

Sex Pistols and Frank Carter have postponed their North and South America tour.

The punk heroes were set to hit the road from September 16, but have unfortunately had to delay their plans as Steve Jones has broken his wrist.

“I’ve got some good news and bad news,” posted the guitarist yesterday (September 2) on Instagram. “What do you want first? Okay, the bad news: I’ve broken my wrist, so unfortunately we won’t be doing any shows for a while.

“The good news is the surgeon said I will be back playing guitar in the not-too-distant future. The other good news is I’ll be 70 tomorrow! God bless, and God save the wrist.”

The band added: “The performances will be postponed and rescheduled when Steve has fully recovered. Please check local venue websites and our social media for more information. We appreciate your understanding and support.”

Today, September 3, Steve is celebrating his birthday, and says that, “70s was the best decade, musically, artistically, originality, punk, disco prog rock, glam rock, proper songwriting best sounding records even the weather is best in the 70s. Hopefully, I won’t be out of action for too long onward and upwards.”

Happy birthday, Steve, and all the best with your recovery!
