The “Happily Ever After” farewell tour for the Go-Gos has been cancelled due to injuries guitarist Jane Wieldlin suffered after a hiking accident.
According toUnderground, the Go-Gos released an official statement, saying: “It is with great regret that the Go-Go’s announce today the cancelation of Happily Ever After, their summer farewell tour. The tour was scheduled to kick off July 7 at Lilith Fair San Diego, and conclude in Austin, TX on July 27. The band will also be unable to perform live on Good Morning America, scheduled for July 16 in New York’s Central Park. The news comes as a result of guitarist Jane Wiedlin injuring herself after a 20-foot fall while hiking near her home in Northern California a couple of weeks ago. Jane is scheduled for ACL replacement surgery for her knee in the coming weeks, with a prognosis of up to a year recovery time. The band is heartbroken and hopes their fans will send best wishes for Jane’s speedy recovery. In the meantime, tickets can be refunded at point of purchase." — When they released Beauty and the Beat in 1981, the infectious ’80s dance-pop quintet we know and love as The Go-Gos gained an impressive and widespread fan base that has endured throughout the last 30 years. Now, as they kick off their “Happily Ever After” farewell tour, Charlotte, Belinda, Gina, Kathy and Jane are preparing to bring hits like “Head Over Heels,” “Vacation” and “Our Lips are Sealed,” to East and West coast audiences one last time. Lead singer Belinda Carlile recently announced the tour on her Facebook wall, creating an official Facebook event with the dates and a detailed profile on the Los Angeles-based band. The farewell tour will take place throughout the month of July, beginning with twoLilith Fair performances.
