The second leg of Van Halen's reunion tour has been cut off entirely. The shows were postponed in May, including a performance scheduled for Knoxville's Thompson-Boling Arena on Aug. 4, but were expected to be rescheduled. Arenas were informed that the tour was actually being canceled on June 29. No reason was given for the decision.

Tickets purchased through Tickets Unlimited by phone or on the Knoxville Tickets website will be automatically refunded to the credit card they were purchased with. Fans who bought their tickets at the Thompson-Boling box office or other outlets will need to return tickets to the box office by mail or in person to receive a refund check.
