Bauhaus, an English goth rock band, just canceled their North American tour. According to a spokeswoman, the tour has been canceled due to singer Peter Murphy attending a rehabilitation center to address his health. The journey was set to begin on September 6 in Toronto and end on September 23 in Atlanta, Georgia. The tour was scheduled to be Bauhaus’ first public appearance in 16 years.
The band’s publicist said in a statement,
“Peter Murphy will join a rehabilitation institution to attend to his health and well-being after a succession of highly acclaimed reunion gigs across continents.”
Bauhaus has canceled the remainder of their North American tour.

The spokesman also said that no additional information concerning Murphy’s condition was provided. Murphy experienced a heart attack in 2019 and subsequently said that he had recovered completely. In late 2021, the band hit the road, and in May 2022, they played at the Cruel World event in Pasadena, California. They also performed a series of West Coast performances that month, followed by several European dates in June and August. Their most recent performance occurred on August 27 in Portugal.
Bauhaus’ canceled North American tour includes Riot Fest appearances.
The Bauhaus North American tour, which was canceled, featured stops in New York, Philadelphia, Washington (DC), Boston, New Haven (CT), Detroit, St. Paul, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, and Denver. It was planned to end on New Year’s Eve at Radio City Music Hall in New York. The band was also set to perform at Riot Fest on September 16 and 18. Refunds are available to attendees who bought tickets at their place of purchase.
After 14 years, Bauhaus released a new song
After 14 years, the goth rock band debuted a new song earlier this year. The music, titled Drink the New Wine, was developed utilizing the ‘exquisite corpse’ approach, which enables producers to add audio elements and view the final output only at the end.
In a statement at the time, the band stated:
“Bauhaus has employed this strategy to great success in the past.” The title relates to the very first Cadavre exquis artwork created by André Breton, Marcel Duchamp, Jacques Prévert, and Yves Tanguy, which comprised phrases that when connected together formed the line, “Le cadavre exquis boiara le vin nouveau.”
The band’s current lineup consists of Peter Murphy, Daniel Ash, Kevin Haskins, and David J. Bauhaus is regarded as a Goth rock pioneer and was created in 1978, when they were known for their dark image and dismal music. They also fused several styles, such as dub, glam rock, psychedelic, and funk. They released their first song, Bela Lugosi’s Dead, in 1979, and it is regarded as one of the forerunners of gothic rock music.
In the Flat Field, their first album is widely regarded as one of the earliest gothic rock recordings. Mask, their second album, was released in 1981. The band’s third album, The Sky’s Gone Out, had financial success, reaching No. 4 on the UK Albums Chart in 1982.
The band also reached No. 15 on the Singles Chart that year, courtesy of their solo rendition of David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust. After Murphy became ill in 1983, there were schisms among the members. As a result, the group disbanded on July 5, 1983. The band ultimately reformed for a 1998 tour, then again from 2005 to 2008, and again in 2019.
