…And so is Cancun
Hot on the heels of yesterday news of Merida cancellation, we are sorry to bring you news of another one: the final show of the Mexican tour in Cancun this weekend has also been cancelled. Eddie Trunk tweeted:
Just found out the final show of this @_DeepPurple tour here in Cancun on Saturday is now cancelled. Thanks to the entire Purple & @InFlames_SWE crew & all the amazing Mexican fans. Headed home now tomorrow in time for Thanksgiving.
Well, if there’s one positive thing that can come out of it, it’s that this may give the band another incentive to tour in the future. Because it would be a real shame if Deep Purple live legacy would end under such circumstances.
Thanks to Rob Hodgkinson for the heads up.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
Why you guys continue to linking this nonsense as “last planned gig” when the guys said plenty of times they will go on for few years more… shame
November 21st, 2018 at 19:31Hristo Yankov because it is called the long goodbye tour and yes although it will most likely go through 2020, it is technically the final tour of deep purple
November 21st, 2018 at 19:34Chris Sigman it is still no proper answer, right?
November 21st, 2018 at 19:37Hristo where is it quoting “Last planned gig”?
November 21st, 2018 at 19:42Last gig of current Mexican leg of tour, not whole tour!
November 21st, 2018 at 20:29Don’t know where you got ‘last planned gig’ from Hristo…….making things up and then criticising based on that is the sort of thing Trump does 😆
November 21st, 2018 at 21:40We are waiting for them to be back in Europe!
November 21st, 2018 at 22:15Una gran tristeza y decepción, tenía comprado mis boletos hace meses, teníamos la ilusión mis hijos y yo de verlos en vivo y en directo, me parece muy difícil que puedan regresar a México 🇲🇽., Seguirán en mi ♥️, el resto de mi vida, como mi banda favorita.
November 21st, 2018 at 23:09😥😥
También me lo perdí acá en cdmx, también es la banda de mi vida… Pero los vi muchas veces antes. Queda en el 💜
November 22nd, 2018 at 00:00Is everyone ok?
November 22nd, 2018 at 00:57It should be known that ALL the cancelled shows were down to total incompetence, lies and dishonesty on the promoters part. Nothing whatsoever to do with the band, crew or management. There will be more.

November 22nd, 2018 at 03:57Rob Hodgkinson I think everyone is aware the guys willing and maybe already making plans for New tour. Ths team few times sounds a bit like yellow paper, so weird
November 22nd, 2018 at 04:03Rob Hodgkinson and few weeks ago
November 22nd, 2018 at 04:04Yes, maybe for Mexico it was the last planned Tour.
November 22nd, 2018 at 10:00I guess Mexico is a mexi-NO!…
November 22nd, 2018 at 11:25this really shouldn’t surprise anyone…disappointed if you had tickets, yes! but not really surprised!
November 22nd, 2018 at 12:48I suppose the questions the remain are:
were the shows that went ahead good (or better great)?
did the boys (including the crew) get paid or are they out of pocket?
and most important
do they want to carry on?
From the interviews they all sounded in fine fettle and looked liek they still enjoy being together.
November 22nd, 2018 at 15:50You’ve understood it incorrectly Hristo……I can see why though. No, it’s not the end of touring for the band 🙂
November 22nd, 2018 at 16:44Bradley Johnson, everyone is fine.
November 22nd, 2018 at 16:48Why canceled
November 22nd, 2018 at 17:19New Purple álbum in 2019-“Mexican Fiasko”
November 22nd, 2018 at 19:29Rob Hodgkinson I think I got it perfectly right… just please re-read the last two sentences from the print screens above… can I call them “speculations”? Be safe
November 23rd, 2018 at 04:57Speculate away Hristo 🙂
November 23rd, 2018 at 13:36I believe it’s due to the unrest in Mexico right now. One of their shows was supposed to be tijuana which was canceled as we’re a couple more causing shows to be moved.
November 25th, 2018 at 10:53@ 22 ” Mexico is Bannanas ” LOL!!
November 27th, 2018 at 15:56Maybe they should’ve played at Rosa’s Cantina instead!
November 29th, 2018 at 03:01@6 enough of that …
