MUNA Tours Without Naomi McPherson | Music News

MUNA’s North American tour kicks off without guitarist and vocalist Naomi McPherson, who’s staying home to be with her mother Harriet during her final days—Harriet is battling terminal cancer, and her passing is expected to coincide with the tour’s start. McPherson, who wanted the shows to go on for her mom’s sake, will rejoin the band in Philadelphia on Sept. 25, though that’s subject to change. Lou Roy steps in to fill her spot across key U.S. cities. The band pours their hearts out, honoring Harriet as one of the wisest, most loving people they’ve ever known—and expressing deep gratitude for her unwavering support. Though this is one of their hardest moments, they’re buoyed by their crew, fans, and each other. The tour promotes their acclaimed album “Dancing On The Wall,” blending euphoric pop with a haunting edge, and continues across North America before heading to Europe in November. Tickets are still available. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
