Her band Psychic TV has postponed its upcoming tour. "We are heartbroken to have seen the insane amount of work Matski and Edley have put in to set all this up only to have my old 67-year body say it needs a rest," she said. "We've been touring for about 50 years now. It's the first time we have had to do this. We hope it will not be necessary again." Read the post in full.
