“I have decided to take a break and will not be touring Europe this time,” the message begins. “Thanks to everyone who bought tickets. I’m sorry to let you down, but this is not the time. I do love playing LIVE and being with you and the Chrome Hearts.”
He signed the note: “LOVE Neil” and “be well.”
The tour was set to kick off June 17 in Bodelva, England, and was scheduled through July 26 in Udine, Italy. Elvis Costello and the Imposters were set to open on select dates. Young’s Chrome Hearts band includes guitarist Micah Nelson, bassist Corey McCormick, drummer Anthony Logerfo and organist Spooner Oldham.
The cancellation comes after an active month for Young, who made headlines in January when he pledged to give his music to anyone in Greenland after President Trump’s administration announced plans to seek U.S. control of the island nation.
“I hope my music and music films will ease some of the unwarranted stress and threats you are experiencing from our unpopular and hopefully temporary government,” Young wrote in a message offering a year of free access to his catalog. “It is my sincere wish for you to be able to enjoy all of my music in your beautiful Greenland home, in its highest quality. This is an offer of Peace and Love.”
Young continued: “All the music I have made during the last 62 years is yours to hear. You can renew for free as long as you are in Greenland. We do hope other organizations will follow in the spirit of our example.”
The rock legend also spoke out against Apple, Verizon and T-Mobile for supporting the “fascist Trump regime.”
