A. They have all recently cancelled an Australian Tour!

Due to the deteriorating health of female member Susanne Bateman, the (not particularly well known) duo 'The Batemans' today announced the cancellation of their Sweet Spot Tour. They returned home to Darwin today. A spokesman for the group advised that the decision to cut the tour short was a precautionary one, adding that 'home is the best place for Sue and Geoff right now'. Sue is reported to be relieved to be home, though naturally disappointed. Both she and Geoff are in good spirits despite having to abort their plans to share the next few weeks with their supporters.

When asked about future tour dates, the response was unequivocal - "It seems our touring days as a duo are over".

Ticket holders for cancelled events are advised that requests for refunds will be politely refused!

An update on Susanne's condition will be released following further consultation with medical specialists later this week.
