The Models have cancelled their reunion concert in Perth following the suicide of band member James Freud in Melbourne last week.
The performance was scheduled for February 17th, 2011, at the Becks Music Box during the Perth International Arts Festival.
Although James Freud had struggled with alcoholism, he had maintained sobriety for the past five years and had published several books about recovering from alcoholism.
Out of respect for Freud, 51, the concert will be postponed, despite his absence from the current band lineup.
Refunds for tickets will be processed, and discussions are ongoing regarding the rescheduling of the concert’s date and location.
