Ghost have cancelled a show in Philadelphia, due to it clashing with the visit of Pope Francis.

The band were set play at the city's Union Transfer on 26 September, but the impending visit of the Pontiff has prompted the city to implement strict security measures and shut down public transport. Ghost, therefore, have opted to move the gig.

In a statement, the band said: "We wish to inform you that due to Frankie’s visit next month in Philadelphia, we received a letter informing us that Ghost fans would not be able to use public transportation or park their cars near Union Transfer."

"In hopes to ensure that each and every Ghost fan can attend this show, we have decided to move the Philadelphia concert at Union Transfer to Tuesday 29 September."

Aw, it's nice when bands consider their fans, isn't it?
