In a surprising turn of events, the iconic British punk rock band Sex Pistols has announced the suspension of their upcoming tour across Latin America due to a wrist injury sustained by their guitarist, Steve Jones. The band, known for pioneering the punk movement, had scheduled a show on September 9th at the Teatro Caupolicán in Chile, with tickets already available through the Puntoticket system.
In a public statement, Steve Jones himself shared the news, saying, «I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that I’ve broken my wrist, so unfortunately, we won’t be able to perform shows for a while. The good news is that the surgeon said I’ll be back to playing the guitar in the not-too-distant future.» Jones added a lighthearted note, joking, «The other good news is that I’m turning 70 in a couple of days. God bless you, and God save the wrist!»
Rescheduling the Latin American Tour
The local production company, Free Fall, which was responsible for the Sex Pistols’ visit, expressed their understanding and regret for the inconvenience caused by this situation, which is entirely beyond their control. They also announced that ticket refunds will be available starting September 15th through the Puntoticket system.
Maintaining the Punk Spirit
Despite this unexpected setback, the Sex Pistols remain committed to their loyal fans in Latin America. The band, which also includes Paul Cook, Glen Matlock, and Fran Carter, is determined to reschedule the postponed shows as soon as Steve Jones’ wrist has fully healed. This incident serves as a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the legendary punk rock pioneers, who have weathered numerous challenges throughout their storied career.
As the band’s devoted followers eagerly await the rescheduled tour dates, the Sex Pistols’ unwavering spirit and commitment to their craft continue to inspire music enthusiasts around the world. This temporary postponement is merely a minor obstacle in the band’s ongoing mission to keep the punk rock flame burning brightly.
