The Madden Brothers (a.k.a. Good Charlotte) Postpone U.S. Tour Dates
Ah, the problems that come with the lifestyles of the rich and the famous ...
The Madden Brothers (Joel and Benji of Good Charlotte) have announced they're postponing a string of U.S. tour dates previously set for November.
Meanwhile, the Maddens are set to play five shows in Australia where they're experiencing a career resurgence thanks to Benji's role as a mentor on the Australian version of 'The Voice.' Their album, 'Greetings From California,' and the single, 'We Are Done,' are both No. 1 hits down under.
The postponed shows include:
Nov. 17: House of Blues Sunset Strip -- West Hollywood, Calif.
Nov. 18: The Independent -- San Francisco, Calif.
Nov. 20: Theatre of Living Arts -- Philadelphia, Penn.
Nov. 21: Paradise Rock Club -- Boston, Mass.
Nov. 23: Irving Plaza -- New York, N.Y.
Joel Madden said in an interview he understands why some fans stateside might feel slighted. "We love America, but the tour [postponement] was out of our control,” he said. “It was just six shows, we can do them in a few months. But I get the fans are passionate. Even though it feels to America we’re in Australia a lot we’re in America more than we’re in Australia. I’m an American who’s in Australia a portion of the year [for 'The Voice']. We enjoy being here.”
