Mini Mansions have decided to cancel their Great Pretenders European tour in light of the terror attacks that took place in Paris on Friday night, including the killing of 89 innocent fans during an Eagles Of Death Metal Show at The Bataclan.
The band posted on their Facebook and Twitter pages a message to their fans which explained that the decision was incredibly difficult to make, as well as encouraging people to continue making donations to Josh Homme's Sweet Stuff Foundation, which is currently raising money for the families of Paris victims.
Between now and 31 December, all donations made to the charity will go towards helping surviving family members of those who were killed by ISIS at The Bataclan and throughout the rest of Paris. Mini Mansions have a strong relationship Eagles Of Death Metal due to the fact that Michael Shuman is the bassist for Queens Of The Stone Age.
"The tragic events that took place in Paris last week have had a deep impact on the world, but have also deeply our own friends and crew in EODM, as well as many fans who attended that Paris show - so it is with heavy hearts that we have deciided to cancel our upcming European tour.
"This was a difficult decision to make, but after discussing with some loyal fans, friends, family and fellow musicians we feel that this is the right thing for us to do at the moment. With confidence we can say that we will be back in the near future and enjoying eachother' company."
