In Flames have canceled their upcoming UK run with Cancer Bats. The band has issued the following statement on the matter:

"We are very sad to announce that the UK & 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 & Irish fans disappointed and we hope to make it up to you very soon! For already purchased tickets please contact your local ticket office/venue."

Cancer Bats are rescheduling their trek as a full headlining UK run in April/May with more details to be announced soon.
