Why did FLO postpone their 2025 UK and European headline tour? All you need to know

The R&B girl group FLO has announced the postponement of their UK and European tour due to an injury sustained by member Renée Downer during rehearsals.

The tour was initially set to begin on March 5, 2025, in Hamburg. It was planned to support their debut album 'Access All Areas'. However, the group has decided to delay the shows as Downer’s injury will affect their ability to perform at full strength. The group has also promised to reschedule them soon. FLO took to their official Instagram handle to announce the postponement.

The post read:

"It absolutely breaks our hearts to announce that we are going to have to reschedule our UK and European tour. Towards the end of our rehearsals, Renée damaged ligaments in her knee, and whilst alongside our team we have tried our best to find a solution, we just are not able to give you the show we want at this time and a tour that you deserve."

It continues:

"We are so sad and sorry that we won't be seeing you over the next few weeks but are working on rescheduling these shows ASAP, so please hold onto your tickets as these will be valid for the new date. Renée will be recovered in time for the US dates, so they will go ahead as planned. UK and Europe, we love you and absolutely can't wait to see you all very soon. So sorry flolifers❤️"

Fans who were eager to see FLO perform in cities like Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham, and London will have to wait as of now. However, the group has assured them that their tickets will remain valid for the new dates.

On the other hand, their North American tour is expected to remain unaffected. The tour is set to begin in April 2025. This is because the injured member, Renée, is expected to recover in time for those performances.

Fans gathered in the comment section of the post to share well wishes for FLO's Renée Downer. Below are some of what them have shared:

"Wishing renee a speedy recovery!!", noted a fan.

"NOOO I’m so sad. Get well soon!!!", chimed in another.

"oh nooo 😭 bless her soul!! sh*t happens", remarked a third.
