More tour cancellations due to ill health. Yellowcard were due to play four UK dates this month, but have been forced to cancel due to singer Ryan Key's ailing vocal chords. Key says: "I am sorry that we have to cancel our UK shows. There is nothing worse than disappointing our fans that want to come out to see us play. I can't fly until I am better and I am at risk of needing surgery on my vocal chords. If I stay home now and take the time to get better I can avoid this risk and come out next year for our UK tour. From the band and myself please accept our deepest apologies and we promise to see you in 2006."

15 Dec: London Electric Ballroom
16 Dec: Birmingham Irish Centre
