In rather tragic news, Jono Grant has been forced to pull out of Above & Beyond's US tour early due to the passing of his sister, Charlotte. According to Jono's tweet, she died suddenly and tragically on her 42nd birthday.

Some of you had the pleasure of meeting her at the UK shows we did, and she was excited to join us at Brixton in April. She supported me…

All the people around you help form some part of who you are, and Charlotte, will remain a big part of me forever.
