The British of The xx , who debuted this year with an album of the same name, were forced to cancel four concerts on their European tour due to exhaustion. Performances were scheduled for Germany, Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg and the band returned to the road today for a concert in Frankfurt.
Last Wednesday, the quartet played in London without one of its members, the guitarist and keyboardist Baria Quereshi , who stopped to recover from tiredness. Rumors began to spread around the internet early on that the artist would leave the band, but nothing was confirmed.
The success of The xx's debut album has already reached the ears of musicians such as Michael Stipe , from R. E. M. , and Courtney Love , widow of Kurt Cobain : the first attended the band's concert in Paris and the second left a message on the band's voicemail, confirmed the singer Romy Madley Croft to the newspaper The Sun .
