June 9, 2010 (LOS ANGELES, CA) – It is with great regret that the Go-Go’s announce today the cancelation of Happily Ever After, their summer farewell tour. The tour was scheduled to kick off July 7 at Lilith Fair San Diego, and conclude in Austin, TX on July 27. The band will also be unable to perform live on Good Morning America, scheduled for July 16 in New York’s Central Park.
The news comes as a result of guitarist Jane Wiedlin injuring herself after a 20-foot fall while hiking near her home in Northern California a couple of weeks ago. Jane is scheduled for ACL replacement surgery for her knee in the coming weeks, with a prognosis of up to a year recovery time.
The band is heartbroken and hopes their fans will send best wishes for Jane’s speedy recovery. In the meantime, tickets can be refunded at point of purchase.
Get well soon Jane. We really want to see you all on tour again!!!!!!!!!!!
Jane,
I hate to hear about your injury and I wish you the best on your recovery. I have been a fan since you guys started and I was in elementary school, it was so cool to have an all girl band. I haven’t got to see you in concert and was going to the Myrtle Beach show. Get well and hopefully you all can reschedule next year.
Hey Jane,
Get well….lov ya…”Sweet Jane”
Jane,
So sorry to hear about this terrible fall! Your stage performance is a joy to watch you kick it out and spinning! I hope all your Go-Go’s fans will be able see the band next year! I’m really a solo fan of Jane and fan member back in the day. I also make a special trip to Sacramento for the comic book signing. It was really good to meet you. I was wondering if Belinda and yourself could play 1 each solo hit, my choice would be RUSH HOUR! I hope and pray the surgery go well with a full recovery. Get Well Soon! John
I am so sorry to hear of your injury. I hope you have a successful surgery and heal quickly. I was stoked to see you in Portsmouth, Virginia this year, I guess I will have to wait a bit later.
Hugs and wishes and please try to make friends with gravity!

Wishing Jane a speedy recovery. Hope to see the Go-Go’s next year.
Jane, I stopped by just now show my wife your cute calendar pics from a few years ago. I am saddened to hear about your injury. I guess it’s just God’s way of saying that the Go-Go’s should not have a “farewell” tour. Stick together forever, and we wish you a speedy recovery.
I stated my full comment under the t-shirt contest section. I should have put it here. To sum it up I am sending my prayers and good vibes for a successful surgery and speedy recovery for Jane!!!!
I am both devistated and relieved about the tour at the same time. Devistated at the cancelation, but relieved that I do not have to say goodbye to The Go-Go’s for the “final” time. You guys have been sucha HUGE part of my life, you were the first concert I EVER SAW in Germany on November 2, 1982. I hope you guys might see the bright side and see this as a sign that you should “not” break-up for many years to come. Please don’t get me wrong I am so sorry you got hurt Jane, but please don’t retire any time soon. You guys are way too young for retirement. You got a lot more G0 Go in you and you guys know it!!!PLEASE KEEP ROCKN!!!!!!!!!! And get well soon Jane!!!!!!!
I was wondering why I didn’t any signage in Manhattan … so sad that you are in pain; but glad that you’ll fully healed with in a year’s time. Meanwhile, keep plugging Lady Robotica!
