Statement from the Hollies on Facebook (not on their website yet):
"Due to the extenuating circumstances of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and the governments advice to close all theatres in the UK until further notice, The Road Is Long UK Spring Tour 2020 is postponed.
The Hollies are very disappointed not to be able to play for you at this extraordinary time.
We are working very hard with all venues trying to find suitable dates to reschedule.
New dates will be posted on the website as soon as possible.
However, as unfortunate as it is for us, the health and safety of our fans, crew and the venue staff is the absolute priority at the moment.
Thank you for your understanding.
Where a show is rescheduled, tickets for the original date should be valid for the new show.
Please contact your point of purchase regarding any ticket enquiries.
Please stay safe everyone.
Love,
The Hollies"
Many American fans are reporting that the shows in the US have been cancelled/postponed, though no official word from the Hollies yet. Presumably it's all dates that are affected. In most cases, the ticket vendor has been in touch with the ticket holder to arrange a refund.
Sad news indeed - I think the first ever cancelled/postponed Hollies tour? Completely expected though. I hope they manage to re-book everything for 2021 once this awful virus has hopefully gone away! I'm disappointed as I was going to see them the day after my birthday, but none of this can be helped. Just wanted to keep folks here in the loop, as many of you aren't on Facebook.

Hi Cameron, I can tell you The Hollies 2002 UK tour was cancelled due to Carl Wayne's Ill health, I know because I booked a couple of concerts and was going to travel there. The odd show gets cancelled, a few years ago Peter Howarth had kidney stones and couldn't go on and they had a fire in a building next to the theatre another time, think it was the same tour.
