The Killers cancel Asia tour

The Killers have cancelled their Asian tour due to "unforeseen circumstances."

The rock band was supposed to perform in Singapore on 24 January, after which they would have headed to China, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Japan and South Korea.

"The Killers have been forced to cancel their appearances in Singapore, Beijing, Hong Kong, Manila, Tokyo and Seoul due to unforeseen circumstances,' the Daily Express quoted a statement on the band's website.

It added: "The band deeply apologises to their fans and hope to reschedule their shows in these cities soon. At this time the band's Australian appearances remain scheduled as planned."

The tour of Australia is set to kick off next month.
