FINALLY FRIDAY: Cancer cancels Fleetwood Mac gig

By MICHELLE HERBISON

FLEETWOOD Mac co-founder John McVie’s cancer treatment has forced the band to cancel its 14-date Australian and New Zealand tour, including Geelong’s A Day On The Green.
“We are sorry to not be able to play these Australian and New Zealand dates,” the band said in a statement.
“We hope our Australian and New Zealand fans as well as Fleetwood Mac fans everywhere will join us in wishing John and his family all the best.”
Ticketing organisation Live Nation Australia said fans with tickets to the Fleetwood Mac show at The Hill winery on 30 November would receive refunds from 28 October.
“For all tickets booked online or by phone, the refund will be refunded automatically to the credit card used in purchasing the tickets. Please allow up to 10 days to receive your refund,” Live Nation Australia said in a media release.
“If the original credit card you used for the purchase has been cancelled or is no longer valid please contact the place of purchase.
“If you made your booking at an outlet please return to the original outlet where the tickets were purchased with your ticket(s) and with the credit card used to make the purchase in hand in order to obtain your refund.
“Refunds will be provided to the original purchaser only on presentation of photo ID.”
Fleetwood Mac recently completed a European leg of its successful worldwide tour.
