Today, Muse announced that the band will not be performing any of their live shows in Oslo, Norway; Stockholm, Sweden; and Malmo, Sweden due to Matthew Bellamy (Lead vocalist) breaking two bones in his foot.

The band announced the news on the official Muse website:

We’re very sorry to have to announce that Muse’s forthcoming shows in Oslo, Stockholm and Malmo have been cancelled as Matt has broken two bones in his foot. The band have therefore made the difficult decision to cancel these gigs as they feel that they will not be able to do justice to their live show and the fans who have bought tickets with Matt performing on crutches. Muse would like to apologize to all their fans who have tickets to these shows. Refunds will be available from the point of purchase.

Matt’s progress will be monitored over the next few days, but the remaining dates on the tour are still scheduled to go ahead as planned. As soon as we have any news it will be posted on the Muse website, Facebook and Twitter accounts.

Even though their reasoning behind canceling the shows is understandable, is anyone upset over the decision? How many were planning on attending these performances? Muse is in the midst of promoting their latest album The 2nd Law.
