Though it didn’t state whether it was a medical issue, fans expressed their concern and sent well-wishes.
One wrote: ‘Ohhh no I hope everybody is okay. (sic)’
Another said: ‘They wouldn’t cancel if it wasn’t something important. Hope everyone is in good health.’
‘Please only let it be huge technical issues or whatever, no one from the Vampires or the team. I’m really really worried…’
Others were frustrated for the lack of reasoning behind the sudden cancellation.
One fan wrote: ‘This is a lousy announcement. I think those that have travelled fare away maybe booked hotel to see you. The fans deserve a better reason.’
‘It would be nice to know why when communicating something of this magnitude’, another added.

Rock stars: The group play songs in tribute to the ‘great lost heroes of music’ and also perform original material from their two album releases
The group play songs in tribute to the ‘great lost heroes of music’ and also perform original material from their two album releases.
Johnny returned to the world of music following his high-profile court battle with ex-wife Amber Heard last year.
As he awaited the verdict on his US defamation case – which ultimately went in his favour – the Pirates of the Caribbean actor performed shows with late rock legend and close pal Jeff Beck, who is among the fallen rock stars they paid tribute to in the show.
The group are next due to play in Slovakia at Olympic Fields on Thursday.
