American rock band Weezer have canceled their Broadway Residency due "low ticket sales" and "high expenses."

In June, Weezer had announced a Broadway Residency in celebration of their mega-album project SZNZ. The five-show residency, called "SZNZ: In Residence on Broadway," was scheduled for September 13 through 18 at the Broadway Theatre in New York, during which the band will perform songs from the SZNZ series as well as their hits.

However, according to a post by frontman Rivers Cuomo, shared to his official Discord server and subsequently re-shared on Reddit, the band was forced to cancel the shows due to "low ticket sales" and "unbelievably high expenses."

"I just learned that our Broadway shows have been cancelled (due to low ticket sales and unbelievably high expenses.) I'm very sorry to be telling you this now after we've already invested so much time, thought, and emotion," Cuomo wrote.

He added, "Extra apologies to those of you who cleared schedules and made travel plans to be with us. Thanks to @Broadway Producer for all your hard work and great ideas. I loved where we were going and I hope we can find a way to resurrect our vision."

"Had fun @foxandtrout watching @theheartshakers!!!" Underwood shared in her Instagram stories.

"Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" was released as the first single from Nicks' debut solo album Bella Donna in 1981. The song peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 for six consecutive weeks.

In a recent interview with CNN, Roger Waters explained why he labelled President Joe Biden a "war criminal" in a video he projected to the audience before a show during his current "This Is Not a Drill Tour."

In a recent interview with CNN, Roger Waters explained why he labelled President Joe Biden a "war criminal" in a video he projected to the audience before a show during his current "This Is Not a Drill Tour."

Biden is fueling the war in the Ukraine, according to the Pink Floyd founding member.

"That is a huge crime. Why won't the United States of America encourage [Volodymyr] Zelensky to negotiate, obviating the need for this horrific, horrendous war?" Waters said while answering a question from CNN's Michael Smerconish.

In Waters' opinion, it was NATO which was responsible for the root cause of the war.

"Well, any war, when did it start? What you need to do is look at the history, and you can say, 'Well, it started on this day.' You could say it started in 2008," he said. "This war is basically about the action and reaction of NATO pushing right up to the Russian border, which they promised they wouldn't do when [Mikhail] Gorbachev negotiated the withdrawal of the USSR from the whole of Eastern Europe."

When Smerconish noted that China is "too busy encircling Taiwan as we speak," Waters replied, "They're not encircling Taiwan! Taiwan is part of China! That has been absolutely accepted by the whole of international community since 1948."
