Bright Eyes Cancel 2024 Tour Due to Vocal Issues

Bright Eyes has canceled all remaining tour dates for 2024 due to lead singer Conor Oberst's ongoing vocal issues, which have been exacerbated by excessive singing. The band initially canceled a few shows earlier this month but has now extended the cancellations to include performances in major cities like Los Angeles, Oakland, and Las Vegas, as well as an upcoming UK/European tour. In a statement, Bright Eyes expressed disappointment and confirmed that all tickets will be refunded at the point of purchase. Oberst is undergoing treatment and recuperation, with hopes of returning to the stage in 2025, when they have a North American tour planned starting January 16. The band's latest album, 'Five Dice, All Threes,' released earlier this month, features collaborations with various artists. Fans have shown concern for Oberst's health following reports of troubling performances prior to the cancellations.
