Chuck Berry has postponed his UK tour until March 2010.
The 83-year-old legend was due to kick off a run of dates in Liverpool on Saturday (November 21).
However, promoters have issued a -
rather odd
- statement citing 'a lack of lead-in time to prepare the marketing and advertising for what promises to be a great rock ‘n´ roll tour.'
The rescheduled dates will be announced shortly and tickets for the original shows will remain valid.
To help tire you over until then, here's some vintage footage of Chuck and Keef engaged in some spirited verbal sparring during reheasals for Chuck's 60th birthday concerts back in 1986…
