Circle Jerks have cancelled their recently announced tour of South America in March of 2009. The band had this to say:

Hello, South American friends, we regret to inform you that due to Keith's lingering health problems, our November shows have been postponed until sometime early next year. Yeah, we're as bummed as you are, but we'll let you know when the rescheduled shows will be as soon as they're firmed up.

The band's last studio album, Oddities, Abnormalities, and Curiosities, was released more than a decade ago. Though the band released a new song last year, guitarist Greg Hetson mentioned this past June that a new album from the long-running band may not happen in the near future.
