TOUR 1000 HOTELES CANCELADO

After cancelling the Tokio Hotel concerts in Portugal, Spain, France and Italy, all remaining concerts of the sold out “1000 Hotels European Tour” had to be canceled as well. If there will be alternative dates for the canceled shows is to be resolved in the upcoming days. All purchased tickets may be exchanged or refunded at the place of purchase.

Further medical examination resulted in Bill having to undergo surgery on his vocal chords and the operation will have to be carried out as soon as possible. Bill, Tom, Gustav and Georg are sad and terribly disappointed about not being able to perform. Especially for Bill, the current situation is terrible and he is absolutely devastated since not being able to sing is basically the worst case scenario for a singer. Bill hopes that the surgery will go well and that he'll be back on stage soon to see all the fans.

The band expresses their sincere apologies but there was just no other option than to cancel the shows and get the surgery done. Thanks for your understanding and we'll keep you updated!

According to media reports, Bill has to undergo an operation on his vocal cords. Due to an infection, a fluid filled cyst had formed that has to be removed. This operation is routine which is done daily in many Throat-Nose-Ear clinics and will be done under a full anesthesia which only lasts about 20-25min. The danger that the voice gets permanently damaged during/after the operation is very low. However, you need to rest your voice for at least a week after the operation and further weeks to recover. The rest of the current European tour and the US tour in April don’t look like it'll take place.

Tokio Hotel's manager and producer David Jost hopes: "that the fans will understand that Bill's health has to be put first."

We will put further and definite information about Bill's health and tour reschedule dates here as soon as possible.
