The band were due to wrap up the UK leg of their reunion tour this week.

Genesis have postponed the last four shows on their reunion Last Domino? tour.

The band cancelled their planned show at Glasgow SSE Hydro last Friday, and also said they will have to postpone their three planned shows at The O2 in London this week.

In a statement on their official website, the group confirmed that they had been forced to make the difficult decision after taking guidance and advice from the government following positive COVID-19 test results within the band.
