The announcement contained no information on whether Brandon Flowers and co would reschedule their Asia tour.

Popular rock group The Killers issued a statement on their website today announcing their Asia tour concerts in Hong Kong, Tokyo, Singapore, Manila, Beijin, and Seoul had been officially canceled due to "unforeseen circumstance."

"The Killers have been forced to cancel their appearances in Singapore, Beijing, Hong Kong, Manila, Tokyo and Seoul due to unforeseen circumstances involving a serious illness of a close family member (updated January 23, 2010.) The band deeply apologizes to their fans and hope to reschedule their shows in these cities soon. At this time the band's Australian appearances remain scheduled as planned," the statement read.

A post on MTV's Asia blog provides information on where to find refunds for tickets already purchased.
