The Black Keys Part Ways With Management After Abrupt Tour Cancellation

The band's North American arena tour was scrapped last month, prompting a shift to smaller venues and a management split.

The 31-date 'International Players' tour was quietly canceled over Memorial Day weekend.
The band plans to reimagine the tour with more intimate venues.
The split with managers Irving Azoff and Steve Moir was described as amicable.
Low ticket sales were speculated as a reason for the tour's cancellation.
The Black Keys joined Azoff and Moir in 2021 after leaving longtime manager John Peets.
