Our thoughts[]
We here on Empire of the Sun Wiki think this is sad, sad, sad! It's not the empires fault, and it's very nice of them that they took their valuable time to show their support for the upset fans!
It looks like Toronto won't be able (for now) to experience the empire live this year...
so Toronto... get your refunds meanwhile you still have the time! - without the empire, the show will not be as great as it was supposed to be.. for sure!
