Foo Fighters had been on a tour that was heading to the UK this summer, with shows scheduled in London, Birmingham, and Manchester.
The death of Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins is being investigated by Colombian authorities.
Hawkins, 50, had been with the rest of the band in the country’s capital, Bogota, when he died in a hotel room.
The group had been on a tour that was heading to the UK this summer, with shows scheduled in London, Birmingham, and Manchester.
When Hawkins’s death was announced by the band on social media, no cause of death was given, but the city’s health department said an ambulance had been called to the hotel for a man experiencing chest pains.
A source at the attorney general’s office, who was not authorised to speak to the press, told Reuters news agency: “We have begun an investigation to establish the cause of death of the musician, but for now we don’t have any available information to share.
“As the investigation advances, we will.”
