THERE was widespread shock at the announcement by Peter Kay that he was cancelling his entire 2018 tour due to "family circumstances".
Here is how Twitter reacted to the news:
Thinking of you @peterkay_co_uk and whilst we are sad not to see you for #danceforlife and your tour next year, we will look forward to seeing you again in the future.

I had tickets for the very first night of Peter Kay. Gutted. I hope whatever the reason behind it, it’s resolved happily for him.

So peter kays cancelled his tour, I finally buy her a present early for once and it’s gone to crap, lesson learned for next year when I’m in top shop on Christmas Eve again

The worst part of Peter Kay cancelling his tour is the fact it’s down to Family issues - nothing else matters and if you think otherwise get over it.....

Look after your family. Don't listen to the negatives. Your doing the right thing. Not many people will understand. I still think your a ledge x

Peter Kay ruined Christmas. I had all my gifts sorted and now he's cancelled his shows. But family comes first so Peter is forgiven. #PeterKayTour

I really hope Peter Kay doesn't feel guilty or receive any negative press

It is right family always comes first and always should
Anyone who cannot understand this, is a cretin!
I just wanted to send love and light to you and your family. It's not anyone's business what's happening, we should all only be wishing you well along with your family. Be strong and your fans will be strong with you! ❤️
