Update: Peter Murphy has canceled his entire run of February
shows at the Chapel as of Tuesday, Feb. 6, according to the venue’s
marketing manager Paul Chalker.
He added that they are looking to
reschedule the British singer’s San Francisco residency to June 26
through July 15 — a year after it was originally set to take place. All
tickets purchased for the original run of shows will be honored for the
new dates.
“We’ve put everything we have into making this
residency happen, but unfortunately Peter’s visa has still not come
through and we simply could not, in good conscience, carry on
rescheduling these dates piecemeal as we all know firsthand how
frustrating that is, and we are no clearer to any indication that the
situation will not last all the way through to the end of the scheduled
dates,” Chalker said.
Peter Murphy
has once again postponed the dates for his monthlong residency at the
Chapel in San Francisco, citing ongoing visa issues that have prevented
him from entering the country.
As of Thursday, Feb. 1, the former frontman for the
British post-punk band Bauhaus had canceled nine of his planned shows.
Murphy has lived with his family in Istanbul for 25 years
and has converted to the Sufi branch of Islam, which may have played a
factor in the deferment.
