In addition to Berlin, concerts in other European cities such as Athens, Vienna, and Zagreb have also been canceled.
"We apologize for any inconvenience and share your frustration and disappointment," the band writes on Instagram. Affected parties are asked to contact the respective concert promoters for further information.
