The massively anticipated Killing Joke original lineup reunion tour has been scrapped, according to reports from venues around the country gathered by Slicing Up Eyeballs.

Last night, both San Diego's the Casbah and the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco announced that the dates booked for late May are canceled -- which does not bode well for the Miami stop at Grand Central currently slated for June 6.

Additionally, the San Francisco announcement states ominously "there is no make-up date."

At this time, there is no official confirmation by Killing Joke or Grand Central, but we will keep you posted.
