After announcing an upcoming residency earlier this summer,Weezer’s five-night stint at the Broadway Theatre in New York City has been canceled, PEOPLE has confirmed.
“I just learned that our Broadway shows have been canceled (due to low ticket sales and unbelievably high expenses). I’m very sorry to be telling you this now after we’ve already invested so much time, thought, and emotion,” the post read, according to Pitchfork. “Extra apologies to those of you who cleared schedules and made travel plans to be with us. Thanks to @Broadway Producer for all your hard work and great ideas. I loved where we were going and I hope we can find a way to resurrect our vision.”
The residency was planned to take place from Sept. 13-17 in celebration of the band’s four-EP project,SZNZ,according to a statement released at the time of the announcement.
