Billy Idol has rescheduled The Roadside Tour to the autumn.
Due to "health challenges", the rock icon has moved his arena shows in Manchester, Cardiff, London, Glasgow, Birmingham and Leeds to October. His European gigs have also moved to later in the year. Confirming the revised dates, Idol said:
"As many of you know, this year has dealt me some health challenges which are nearly, but not quite resolved. While my recovery is almost complete, I have been given doctor’s orders to stay off the road until August – and so it is with great frustration that we must reschedule the UK tour for October of this year. Thank you for everyone's understanding and support. These shows will be worth the wait!"
Supporting Idol, and replacing The Go-Go's on the original dates, are special guests Television including original frontman Tom Verlaine. Idol added: "Sadly, The Go-Go's are no longer able to join us. I am thrilled to share that now opening all UK shows will be Television, one of my favourite bands from the original New York punk scene and an inspiration to me throughout my career. I will be honoured to share the stage with them and hope everyone will come early to enjoy their set!"
Original tickets will be valid for the new dates, with the remaining tickets on sale now. The Roadside Tour shares its name with the 66-year-old's Butch Walker-produced four-track EP. Each stop will feature new music, along with fan favourites, performed by Idol and his longtime guitarist and co-writer Steve Stevens.
