The Coral, who have had to cancel their February UK tour after guitarist Lee Southall developed tendonitis, have rescheduled their gigs for later in the year. Confirmed dates as follows:
7 Apr: Manchester Academy
8 Apr: Norwich UEA
10 Apr: London Astoria
11 Apr: Portsmouth Pyramids
12 Apr: Cardiff Academy
29 Apr: Dublin Ambassador Theatre
30 Apr: Belfast Limelight
2 May: Glasgow Barrowlands
3 May: Middlesborough Town Hall
26 Jun: Oxford Brookes University
Fans who bought tickets for the original dates can exchange them for the new gigs. Those not wanting to go to a rescheduled show can get a refund from their point of purchase.
According to NME, Southall is seeing three specialists at present. His problem has developed because of a nerve problem in his neck, which is causing the tendonitis. At present, it is unclear if he will have to undergo surgery or if a simple rest will sort it out.
