'For those of you planing on seeing at Epcot unfortunately their appearance at the Eat to the Beat concert series had been canceled! I am so sorry for fans who traveled here to see them! Hopefully they will have a Florida date added soon!'

Earlier in April, the duo revealed they were heading to India for the first time on Instagram following the tragic death of their former bandmate Tom Parker.

Max wrote previously this year: 'Myself and Siva can't wait for this! Our first time in India... Dream come true!' 

This is the first time they hit the road after previously all five members touring in early 2022.

Weeks later Tom died aged 33 on March 30, 2022 following an 18-month battle with stage four glioblastoma brain cancer.

It is unclear why Nathan is not joining Max and Siva but Jay has recently been busy promoting his debut book Blood Flowers around the UK.

Jay also announced that he will he heading to Ireland with the hit show 2:22 alongside former Love Island host Laura Whitmore, EastEnders star Shona McGarty and Once Upon a Time actor Colin O'Donoghue.
