TOKYO (TR) – Ian McCulloch, the singer of English rock band Echo and the Bunnymen, has left Japan prior to a scheduled solo concert in the capital due to escalating tensions between the U.S and North Korea, the promoter of the event said in a tweet on Friday.
Label and promoter Vinyl Japan said that it had cancelled the concert after learning McCulloch and his manager left Japan “without permission” prior to a show at Shinjuku Marz on Friday night due to concerns over the possible nuclear weapons test by North Korea."
