The Sex Pistols have announced a delay to their upcoming North American tour following an injury to guitarist Steve Jones. The legendary punk band shared the news with fans, explaining that the decision was unavoidable after Jones fractured his wrist. As a result, the long-anticipated run of shows across the United States will now take place at a later date, once he has fully recovered.
In a joint message shared on social media, the band described the situation as disappointing but necessary. Jones himself addressed fans with a mix of honesty and humor, confirming that his injury would prevent him from performing for the time being. While acknowledging the setback, he reassured supporters that doctors expect him to be back on guitar in the near future, striking an optimistic tone despite the circumstances.
The group emphasized that all affected performances will be rescheduled rather than canceled outright. Fans were encouraged to stay informed by checking official venue listings and the band’s social media channels for updates. The announcement was met with an outpouring of support, as followers flooded the comments with birthday wishes, encouragement, and hopes for a smooth recovery.
Before the postponement, the Sex Pistols featuring Frank Carter were set to begin their North American dates in mid-September, with shows planned through mid-October. The tour was also scheduled to include stops in South America, with performances lined up in countries such as Brazil, Chile, and Argentina. The current lineup includes original members Glen Matlock on bass and Paul Cook on drums, alongside Jones and frontman Frank Carter.
Formed in London in 1975, the Sex Pistols remain one of punk rock’s most influential bands. Over the decades, they have experienced breakups, reunions, and lineup changes, including the departures and returns of former frontman John Lydon. Despite the band’s turbulent history, their legacy continues to resonate, and fans remain eager for their return to the stage once Jones is fully healed.
