The Estonian trio Bullfrog Brown have been forced to cancel all remaining October gigs due to ill health that has been plaguing guitarist Andres Roots since the start of their UK tour in September. Cancelled dates include the Scandinavian Blues Party in Kokkola and Kantis Goes Roots! club night in Helsinki, Finland, as well as a live performance on Estonian national television.

“Cancelling gigs is something we have never taken lightly and it has been harder than ever to make that decision now, with two Finnish shows we have very much been looking forward to,” Roots stated. “But for the last two gigs we played, I was performing under rather heavy medication, and not only did the concerts turn out more psychedelic than intended, the effort has not helped my situation. The doctors strongly recommend that I now cancel all travels for the remaining month, and sadly, I’m in no position to argue. With a bit of luck, we’ll be back soon, and hopefully will get the chance to redeem ourselves before our Finnish fans in 2010.”

Currently, the band is hoping to continue with their November schedule as planned; however, no foreign performances are to be scheduled until March 2010.
