The band have released the following statement:
"We are very sad to announce that the UK and Ireland tour will not happen as planned. As you already know, Jesper is currently at an alcohol rehabilitation clinic and is taking some time off to get better. Peter is about to become a dad. We obviously knew about Peter becoming a dad and originally planned to have a replacement bassist, but with the recent events surrounding Jesper we simply feel that it is not fair on the fans to see a completely different line-up, which in our eyes is not In Flames. Again, sorry to make any UK and Irish fans disappointed and we hope to make it up to you very soon!"
Strömblad has already missed the band's tours of South America, Australia and Japan after checking himself into a rehabilitation clinic. During these dates long time friend Niclas Engelin from Engel has been playing guitar. The Swedish axeman has helped the band out previously.
