Civil Wars cancel tour amid ‘differences’

– Grammy-winning duo the Civil Wars have canceled their upcoming tour dates, citing irreconcilable differences.

The folk-pop duo Joy Williams and John Paul White released a statement Tuesday announcing that because of “internal discord and irreconcilable differences of ambition” they were unable to “continue as a touring entity at this time.”

Although they used the language of divorce, the duo added, “Our sincere hope is to have new music for you in 2013.”

Williams and White are both married to other people. Williams had a baby this summer with husband Nate Yetton, the duo’s manager.

This year the pair canceled part of their European tour.
