LCD Soundsystem have canceled their final run of shows scheduled to close out their 20-day residency at the Brooklyn Steel in Brooklyn, N.Y. The performances were set to take place on Dec. 19, 20 and 21.

On Friday, LCD Soundsystem made a statement on social media about the current rise in COVID-19 cases hammering New York City. The band wrote, “we said we would play, and people are coming, so we are playing” but also stated that the show going on is by no means an indicator of safety and that “[fans] need to make your own decisions as to whether you feel safe coming to see us.” They added that if enough fans asked for refunds for the event, they would cancel.

Yesterday the band returned to social media to write, “you all have spoken. the last three shows are canceled.” They expressed their desire to play and stated they felt “hartened” to see more masks at their last show. They continued to apologize to fans who still wanted to come out. LCD Soundsystem ended the statement by saying, “but it will have to wait, again, until we find out what this new wave means to us all.”
