Flight of the Conchords postpone UK and Ireland tour

A hand injury will keep the comedy duo from fans for a while longer

The UK and Ireland leg of the Flight of the Conchords tour has been postponed.

Both Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement have been forced to reschedule numerous shows due to a hand injury suffered by the former.

“Unfortunately I’ve broken two bones in my hand today in a very rock ‘n’ roll injury - falling down some stairs, McKenzie said on Twitter. “The doctors have informed me that I won’t be able to perform for several weeks.

“I’m sorry not to be able to do these upcoming shows but I’m looking forward to coming back and finishing the tour when I have two fully functioning hands.”

The 'Flight of the Conchords sing Flight of the Conchords Tour' marked the comedy duo's first UK shows in seven years. It features all the classics from their HBO/BBC series as well as brand new material.

Tickets holders will be contacted about the rescheduling of dates.
