The Motels Cancel Tour Dates For Remainder Of Year, Martha Davis Releases Statement Regarding Health

The Motels have announced that they will be cancelling the remainder of their tour dates for 2024, as vocalist Martha Jones has announced that she is in the midst completing treatment for breast cancer. A brief statement below comes from Jones, and we wish her a speedy recovery as she completes the last of her radiation treatments:

"I just canceled our remaining shows of the year... I think it's time i come clean with you lovelies that have purchased tickets for upcoming shows...aside from badly breaking my wrist on September 9,  I'm also in the mopup stages of a two year breast cancer thingie...had the estrogen blocker, the lumpectomy and now radiation.  The radiation has caused me to lose my voice...so no guitar, no voice...no shows... I'm doing well and will be delighted when all this is over...last radiation is on the 23rd...yay! 

In the last two months the universe has been playing dodgeball with me while my feet are velcroed to the ground.  Started writing a new song..."I'm starring in my own shitshow!" I love and miss you all so much, and I can't wait to get back at it!

Thank you to all my wonderful doctors, nurses and technicians? Thank you for making treatment FUN.  I also want to thank my new manager Raquel Bruno, she's had my back through all this...and  more than anything i want to thank my band Clint, Nic, Eric and Marty...i love you with all my heart!!...m."
