Sixpence None The Richer cancels the remainder of its 2026 tour

Sixpence None the Richer has announced the cancellation of all remaining 2026 tour dates due to the recent loss of longtime friend and bass player, Justin Cary. Justin suffered a stroke a few weeks ago that ultimately led to his passing.

The band would announce the tour cancellation on Tuesday.

“We are completely heartbroken over the tragic and untimely loss of our bandmate, brother-in-arms, and friend for 30 years, Justin Cary,” a joint statement from Leigh Nash and Matt Slocus said. “The past three years had been full of international tours, recording new music, and an even further deepening of the joy of making music together.”

“We were looking forward to connecting with new and old fans around the world this summer and fall, but for now we need time to be still and grieve.” Nash and Slocum said. “With heavy hearts, we are canceling all remaining tour dates for 2026.”

Leigh’s caption on the post added: “Hundreds of pictures. Thousands of memories, 30 years’ worth. Thank you, Justin. There’ll never be another you, sir. No one could pack a suitcase better or make us laugh harder.

We don’t know what is ahead; we never do, really. But for now, we must grieve our brother. Prayers are welcome for us all, especially his beautiful wife, Linda.

We love you all so much and will see you again.”
