"Fugazi apologise to their fans and hope they will be understanding of these exceptional circumstances. The band would like to assure everyone that rescheduling these dates will be a priority for them as soon as they are able to resume playing again.
"All efforts will be made to schedule the dates at the same venues/towns and therefore it is hoped that all current tickets will remain valid."
