Avenged Sevenfold have cancelled their scheduled UK dates for the autumn because they'd rather get back in the studio, having recently been writing songs for their fourth album. Singer M. Shadows says: "We love our loyal fans and want to continue giving them the freshest, most awesome show and material possible. We've been playing songs from City of Evil around the world for 15 months and now feel its time to bring them something new. We're honoured by the growing audiences wanting to see our show, but feel an obligation to our fans to always give them the best we have to offer. We've started writing and can't wait for our fans to hear what we're working on"
The cancelled dates are as follows:
20 Oct: Manchester Apollo
22 Oct: Newcastle Carling Academy
23 Oct: Glasgow Barrowlands
25 Oct: Wolverhampton Civic Hall
26 Oct: London Brixton Academy
27 Oct: Cardiff University
29 Oct: Norwich UEA
30 Oct: Southampton Guildhall
