Duran Duran cancel remaining dates of their two year world tour

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Including shows scheduled for this Friday, August 31st & Saturday, September 1st 
at Casino Rama

RAMA, ON (August 29, 2012) – Casino Rama regrets to announce that the Duran 
Duran concerts scheduled for this Friday, August 31st & Saturday, September 1st 
have been cancelled as keyboardist Nick Rhodes is too unwell to perform.

Following the loss of four shows already this week (in Pittsburgh, Atlantic 
City, Kettering and Chicago), the band members announced Tuesday night that they 
would sadly have to cancel the remaining two Canadian dates as well.

Rhodes, who has been unwell now for over a week, was advised by doctors today 
that he is not yet ready to perform, as he is still experiencing the same 
symptoms that have kept him from the stage for the last few nights.

The band are devastated that what has been a triumphant tour for them, with many 
highlights, has ended this way - and know that the fans will be as disappointed 
as they are.  Nick held out all week, hoping that he would be well enough to 
perform again for these final few shows, but unfortunately the medical advice he 
has been given today requires him to continue to rest.

Tickets purchased for these performances by credit card, whether in-person at 
the Casino Rama Box Office, or over the phone or online via TicketMaster, will 
be automatically refunded.

Tickets purchased for these performances by cash or debit at the Casino Rama Box 
Office, will require ticket holders to return there to obtain a refund.  Please 
note the Casino Rama Box Office is open daily from 12 noon to 8 pm.

Tickets purchased for these performances through a Ticketmaster 
TicketCentre/Outlet regardless of payment, will require the ticket holder to 
return to the original point of ticket purchase to obtain a refund.
