The San Francisco Residency is postponed to January/February 2018 due to a serious issue with Peter’s vocal cords. Please see the full announcement below, 

Peter Murphy, (((folkYEAH!))) Presents and The Chapel today announced that the Peter Murphy residency, previously scheduled for June and July, will be postponed to late January and early February due to a serious issue to his vocal cords. The artist has also announced two very special nights of Mr. Moonlight (Bauhaus Classics) on February 14th and 15th. Tickets for these shows will go on sale Friday, April 28th, 2017.

After a routine check up, doctors discovered nodules on Peter’s vocal cords for which he will be undergoing treatment followed by an extended period of recovery before attempting to use his voice again. Murphy recorded a message to all his fans explaining the circumstances, which can be seen here. The transcript reads, “As you can see, I am not allowed to sing or speak for a while, doctor’s orders. I must rest my vocal cords. See you when this is over, Love Peter.”

“Peter wants all his fans to know how sorry we all are, but wants to ensure everyone that doctors have assured us that if we follow their direction there will be no lasting damage to his voice,” said Murphy’s agent, Joady Harper. “We want to thank all of our loyal fans for all your continued support and sticking with us through this. These shows are going to be a legendary occasion and we can’t wait to share them with you.”

PETER MURPHY announces Residency at San Francisco's The Chapel - a retrospective of his greatest solo albums played in their entirety, and more.

“I have always wanted to do a residency and while I was performing at The Chapel on the “Stripped” tour last year, I felt like this was the perfect venue and that the time to do this was now. There are a lot of songs on these albums that I haven’t sung in years. This is a rare chance for fans to see them performed live"- Peter Murphy
