The European leg of GWAR‘s “Return of the World Maggot” tour, scheduled to kick off in January 2012 has been cancelled after several promoters pulled the plug on shows for a variety of reasons that are as yet unclear.

GWAR spokesman Dave Brockie commented on the tour’s cancellation:
“Several of the promoters were alarmed by the seemingly low ticket sales. Instead of sticking it out and getting huge walk up crowds with amazing GWAR shows, which is exactly what would have happened, but they decided to start pulling the plug on shows anyway. It got to the point where we had lost so many shows; it just didn’t make sense to do this tour. We were going to completely eat shit, money-wise and we can’t do that.

Brockie continues:
“We are super disappointed that these promoters make deals, sign contracts and then bail on the shows at the first sign of trouble. We apologize to all of our European fans for cancelling the tour, but we did everything we could possibly do to save it. We can’t control the weak ass promoters who don’t have the nuts to live up to their fucking promises.
