LOS ANGELES: Pearl Jam is postponing the North American leg of its Gigaton world tour because of concerns over the new coronavirus, the band announced on Monday (Tuesday in Manila). However in this case, travel is something to avoid.”New dates will be determined and current tickets will be honored for those dates, the band said. Band members said they were personally being affected by the COVID-19 health fears. The band is from Washington state, where two dozen people have died, most of them at a Seattle-area nursing home. “The tour we’ve been busy planning for months is now in jeopardy,” the band said.
