"The band wishes to reassure everyone that Dan and Patrick are in perfect health and well-being," The Black Keys posted on social media, addressing the concerns of their worried followers.

"After wrapping up a series of breathtaking performances in the UK and Europe, including gigs at iconic venues like the Brixton Academy and Zenith in Paris, we've made the decision to revamp the North American leg of the International Players Tour. This change will enable us to create an equally thrilling and intimate experience for both our fans and the band. We'll be announcing the revised dates soon," the band explained.

"All those who had secured tickets or VIP packages for the original tour dates will receive full refunds, and once the new plans are revealed, you'll be the first to get your hands on the tickets," the band added.

"We apologize for the unexpected change and thank you for your understanding. We're confident that you'll be thrilled with what we have in mind, and we eagerly await the opportunity to see you all again soon," the band concluded.
