The Civil Wars put family first over tour

Due to a serious illness in the band's family, concerts this month have been postponed. Grammy-winning duo The Civil Wars say they are sorry to cancel part of their European tour - but family comes first. Due to a serious illness in the band's family, concerts this month in Germany, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Sweden, The Netherlands and Turkey have been postponed. The American folk act is planning to reschedule the shows in the fall, after singer Joy Williams has her first child this summer. Williams says "as much as we love music, family is a priority too, so having to postpone is not something that we wanted to do. But when family calls, you answer." From: Gulfnews
