Kathleen Hanna’s The Julie Ruin International Tour Cancelled Until September 2014
Kathleen Hanna and The Julie Ruin have announced that all shows/appearances are cancelled until September 2014. With the release of the documentary film The Punk Singer, frontwoman Kathleen Hanna has been outspoken about her struggle with Lyme Disease, explaining her temporary absence from music. She is currently having a relapse and has been advised by her doctor to start a difficult 3-month course of treatment immediately. The treatment plan will make it impossible for her to travel. The Julie Ruin are disappointed to postpone these appearances, however they are confident that taking this time off will allow Hanna to heal so that they can continue touring in the future.
