New Order’s plans for live performances are thrown into uncertainty after two of its original members announce they will not be performing for the foreseeable future due to health. Multiple reports say the decision affects the band’s ability to take part in upcoming shows, with the remaining members continuing to navigate how performances may proceed.

One outlet reports that the band expresses regret over the situation, stating “we are really sorry,” in connection with the health-related pullouts. The other reports similarly frame the move as tied to the members’ wellbeing and describe it as a period of suspension from live appearances rather than a permanent break.

While the articles emphasize the immediate impact on live shows, they do not provide further medical detail or specify dates for when the members might return. The reports therefore present the current phase as a temporary uncertainty surrounding the band’s future touring arrangements, shaped by health considerations.
