Não há duas sem três, diz o ditado.

Depois de Emir Kusturica ter "fugido" e os The Wombats terem cancelado a vinda ao nosso país é a vez de Long Blondes cancelarem.

No site oficial pode-se ler que o membro da banda Dorian Cox estava doente e que esperavam a sua recuperação ainda a tempo da agenda da banda para Agosto. Isso não aconteceu, levando ao cancelando das actuações, entre elas a do festival Paredes de Coura:

The summer... We are happy to be able to tell you that Dorian is improving slowly and is on the road to recovery. However, as he is still in hospital, we will be unable to play the rest of the festivals we had booked this summer. We're very grateful for all the messages of support we have received and for respecting our privacy too - we couldn't ask for nicer fans than you lot.

Love, The Long Blondes xx
