Peter Murphy Cancels 2025 Tour Dates Due To Ongoing ‘Health Issues'
Bauhaus frontman Peter Murphy has announced he will not be hitting the road this summer as planned, with ongoing health issues to blame for the nascent cancellation. Murphy announced his news via social media on Monday (June 2), informing fans that, 'It is with regret that, due to recent health issues, I will be unable to perform for you this summer. ' More from Billboard Cynthia Erivo Opens Up About Her Queerness: 'The More Yourself You Are, The Better Understanding Starts to Happen' The Roots Apologize to Fans After First Day of 2025 Roots Picnic Marred By Long Lines: 'Safety Will Always Be Our Number 1 Priority' Rod Stewart Postpones Las Vegas Colosseum Residency Gig Due to Unspecified Illness 'I am very much saddened by this news,' he added. 'This situation is hopefully temporary, and we will be able to announce shows in support of Silver Shade at some point in the near future. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding.' The forthcoming tour dates were set to see Murphy touring in support of Silver Shade, his first new solo album since 2014, with festival dates scheduled throughout the U.K. and Europe between June and August. Murphy's live appearances have been limited in recent years, with a heart attack necessitating the postponement of his 2019 residency at New York venue Le Poisson Rouge. A reformed Bauhaus would later cancel a run of North American dates in 2022 after stating that Murphy would be 'entering a rehabilitation facility to attend to his health and well-being.' In early 2023, the Celebrating David Bowie tour was rescheduled after Murphy underwent 'an unexpected medical procedure,' before he dropped out entirely 'due to ill health and doctor's orders to rest and recover.' In December 2024, an upcoming U.K. and European leg of the same tour was cancelled after it was announced Murphy had 'suddenly taken ill.' Murphy rose to fame as a member of Bauhaus in the late '70s, with their debut single 'Bela Lugosi's Dead' being considered one of the pioneering gothic rock tracks. Bauhaus split in 1983 after releasing four albums, and Murphy launched a solo career in 1986. His third album, 1989's Deep, would peak at No. 44 on the Billboard 200, with the single 'Cuts You Up' reaching No. 55 on the Hot 100 and topping the Modern Rock Tracks chart the following year. Bauhaus' reunions would result in a final album in 2008, with the group releasing their final single, 'Drink the New Wine' in early 2022. In May 2025, Murphy released his latest studio album, Silver Shade, which featured contributions from Boy George alongside members of Tool and Nine Inch Nails.

Peter Murphy Finds ‘Clarity in Chaos' on New Solo Album Silver Shade
Peter Murphy It took Peter Murphy over a decade to release his new album Silver Shade. But as the legendary British singer explains, his recent return with new music — his first since 2014's Lion — wasn't the result of pressure or a plan. To him, Silver Shade arrived because it was the right time. 'Some of it had been taking shape quietly for a while, fragments, ideas,' says Murphy, who is best known for his work in the pioneering and influential Goth rock band Bauhaus. 'But the full shape of it only came together when it felt right. Also, again — due to the nature of the music business — between the making of the album and the actual release date, some time passes…which is what happened with this album. The songs came in their own time, naturally.' Silver Shade, which came out on May 9, is Murphy's finest and strongest work to date since he began his solo career in 1986 after Bauhaus' initial breakup. In comparing this new record with the preceding one, the singer says: 'Lion had its own tone, raw, dense, a kind of focused burn. That was nine years ago. With Silver Shade, I was in a different place. Older, somehow clearer in my intent. I didn't want to repeat myself. This time, I wanted more space in the music, more air between the parts. It's still intense, but the intensity is quieter, more internal. So yes, the process was different with new collaborators, a different kind of energy driving it.' Like with Lion, Silver Shade was produced by Youth of Killing Joke fame, who Murphy says brought a certain discipline and unpredictability. 'He knows how to capture a moment without polishing it too much. He's not afraid to strip things back or push them forward if needed. He helped shape the record's atmosphere without getting in the way of the songs themselves.' The new record, which features guest appearances by Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor and Tool's Danny Carey and Justin Chancellor, is not a conceptual work, says Murphy. 'Each song stands on its own,' he explains, 'but when you listen to the record as a whole, there's a feeling that ties them together. A sort of emotional continuity, even though each track explores something different, they all come from the same source, naturally. There is definitely a thread, though it's not obvious in a literal sense. The songs came from a certain place, a place of tension, change and reflection. I'd say the themes are about navigating through confusion, finding clarity in chaos.' Silver Shade opens with the electrifying danceable rocker 'Swoon,' which immediately hits the listener. ''Swoon' captures that moment of intensity," Murphy says, "but it's almost detached, it has that driving beat, that hypnotic rhythm that pulls you in, but there's something off-centre about it. The song isn't built on resolution. It's the sound of something being carried away, not necessarily in control, just moving. It came from a place of urgency, a need to get something across without overthinking it. Trent really understood that feeling, so his vocals tie in perfectly.' The title of 'Hot Roy,' another pumeling and driving rocker from the new album, is a reference to a schoolyard game; the lyrics also mention David Bowie and Mick Ronson. 'The rhythm is in your face, but it's got this tension running through it, like a secret under the surface,' Murphy says. 'You can say that 'Ronno' and 'Zigger' are nods to Mick Ronson and David Bowie, though not in a literal sense. It's more about their spirit, that influence they had on all of us who came up in the era of glam rock. The names in the song are a kind of homage, but more than that, they represent an attitude, that combination of glam, rebellion, and mystery.' A trace of Bowie-esque glam rock could be heard on the rocking title song, which also features Reznor. 'One of my oldest (in a sense of time) friends and writing partner, Paul Statham, was important in 'Silver Shade,'" explains Murphy.'It sums up that idea of contrast: light and dark, clarity and confusion. It's a place where things don't fully make sense, but they're still beautiful in their own way. The production gives it a lush feel, but it's haunted by a certain melancholy. It's like standing in a space that's neither here nor there — the in-between." Murphy describes 'The Sailmaker's Charm' as the closest thing to a ballad on the new album, but it's also not a typical one. 'It has this romanticism to it, but also a kind of wariness. It's about being drawn to something or someone, but knowing that the charm could turn. It's a tug-of-war between attraction and skepticism.' Somewhat autobiographical, the hypnotic synthpop track 'The Artroom Wonder' draws from an experience in Murphy's youth when he heard a Bowie song at school. 'I was just coming out of the artroom, and I heard a piece of music which affected me deeply. I remember it to this day. It turned out to be 'Cygnet Committee' by David Bowie. This was very much in my mind when I was creating that track. The chorus is like a memory you sing out loud so it doesn't disappear.' Murphy's songs tend to feel cinematic, and the sweeping "The Meaning of My Life" is no different with its poetic lyrics and the singer's powerful delivery. "I suppose it is more expansive, more contemplative. It's asking questions that don't necessarily have answers, and that's exactly the point. We get caught up in the search, but maybe the search is the point itself. The song moves between hope and doubt." Ahead of Silver Shade's release, Murphy put out the arresting and beautiful single 'Let the Flowers Grow,' a duet with Boy George. Its creation began when Murphy came across musical fragments by George, who was also working with Youth, and decided to expand on them with the Culture Club singer. 'It's always interesting to see how these things evolve when they come into a different context. George has got such a distinct voice; there's nothing else like it. Also, we both come from that same 'outsider' space in a way. There's a natural respect because of that. The collaboration worked because there was no pretense; we just let the music happen. It was about connecting on a creative level and letting the song grow into what it needed to be.'

(Photo by Sergione Infuso/Corbis via Getty Images) In a solo career now going on almost 40 years, with the occasional Bauhaus reunion sprinkled in, how does Murphy view Silver Shade in the context of his discograpby? "I don't tend to rank my own work, honestly. Each record comes from a different place and time, different life, different lens. Silver Shade isn't trying to compete with what came before. It stands on its own. 'That said, I do feel it's one of the most focused and distilled things I've done in a long while," he continues. "There's no excess. Everything's intentional. It carries the weight of experience but doesn't lean on nostalgia. It looks forward. So, if someone said it's among the strongest in the catalog, I'd understand that. But as always, that is for listeners and fans to decide.'
