The Cure have cancelled their upcoming North American tour to spend more time working on their recently announced double album.

According to recent reports, the band says:

The schedule as it stands only gives us a couple of weeks to finish our new double album before we hit the road again, and we know this just isn't enough time to complete the project to our total satisfaction

The Cure released their self-titled The Cure, their twelfth album, in 2004.
