CAMEL TOUR 2023


It is with great sadness and regret that Camel Productions must announce the cancellation of Camel's 2023 tour.  Shortly after rehearsals, Andrew Latimer became troubled by a sharp pain in his lower back that advanced into his leg and foot.  He was sent for diagnostic tests which quickly revealed a severe condition that requires urgent surgery.  Recovery time is uncertain and it is this uncertainty that prevents us looking at other options such as postponement.  However recovery is suggested to take 8-12 weeks minimum so there is no possibility of Andrew continuing with the tour.  And without Andrew, there can be no tour so cancellation is unavoidable.  

We know this news will be immensely upsetting to fans as it is to the band.  We are all so grateful for the support of fans who purchased tickets and particularly appreciative of the many emails from fans near and afar who shared their excitement.  Throughout his career, Andrew Latimer has had numerous physical challenges on tours and has always overcome them.  Camel look to the future for another opportunity to write The Final Chapter.
 
 

I had tickets for Stockholm for the very first Camel gig in my 20 years of listening to them Cry Hopefully Andy recovers and can get back to the stage in time.

Sad news... I had been seriously thinking about the Bham Symph Hall in June, but hadn't booked anything.

I hope Andy makes a swift and full recovery...

This is regrettable news, but best wishes to Andy for a successful surgery and a comfortable convalescence.

Bad news. I hope it doesn't have anything to do with his past bone marrow issues

It doesn't. He has had a successful procedure and will make a full recovery, although it is not known as yet whether he will be able to tour.
