Bad news The XX fans. Looks like the buzz band of the moment is on hiatus. Guitarist/keyboardist Baria Quereshi decided not to play their show at the Village Underground at Shoreditch while The XX continued on with the show and played as a threesome. They announced to the crowd ""Obviously this has been a really tough few days for us. This is the first time we've played as a three piece." They then dedicated "VCR" to Baria. The XX later stated will take this weekend to discuss their future cancelling some European dates with a possible return on Tuesday, November 3rd in Germany. The band later claimed that Baria is suffering from exhaustion from the grueling tour schedule.
The XX are scheduled to play with Friendly Fires in Los Angeles on Saturday, November 21st to the Henry Fonda Music Box so we're hoping things get resolved by then so we can catch them live and wish them the best.
