UPDATE CAMEL's Andrew Latimer


13 April 2023

It's with great relief and delight that CP is able to update Andrew Latimer's post-surgical progress.  His surgeon is pleased with the result and is cautiously optimistic for his full recovery.  After a week in hospital, Andrew was released to complete his recovery at home where we are told he is going from strength to strength. 

It's impossible to judge how long it will take him to recover.  At this very early stage, there is no news on when or if a future tour will be possible.  This will not even be considered until Andrew is back to full strength.  No one wants him to risk a relapse so for now, we at CP are all smiles just to know he's doing so well.

CAMEL TOUR 2023

14 March 2023

It is with great regret that Camel Productions must announce the cancellation of Camel's 2023 tour.  Shortly after rehearsals, Andrew Latimer became troubled by a sharp pain in his lower back that advanced into his leg and foot.  He was sent for diagnostic tests which quickly revealed a severe condition that requires urgent surgery.  Recovery time is uncertain and it is this uncertainty that prevents us looking at other options such as postponement.  However recovery is suggested to take 8-12 weeks minimum so there is no possibility of Andrew continuing with the tour.  And without Andrew, there can be no tour so cancellation is unavoidable.  

We know this news will be immensely upsetting to fans as it is to the band.  We are all so grateful for the support of fans who purchased tickets and particularly appreciative of the many emails from fans near and afar who shared their excitement.  Throughout his career, Andrew Latimer has had numerous physical challenges on tours and has always overcome them.  Camel look to the future for another opportunity to write The Final Chapter.
