Underworld cancels tour

Dance duo Underworld has canceled the remaining dates on their European tour, due to member Rick Smith’s “severe illness”.

Remaining shows in London, Prague, Frankfurt and Berlin have all been axed. Underworld has just released their new album Oblivion With Bells.

Underworld is the principal name under which British electronic music duo Karl Hyde and Rick Smith have recorded since the late 1980s.

The band is perhaps best known for “Born Slippy NUXX”, a track made popular in the hit 1996 Danny Boyle film Trainspotting.
