Two key members of New Order will not be touring with the band for the "foreseeable future" due to health reasons.

Stephen Morris and Gillian Gilbert have both stepped away from live shows, though the specific health concerns were not addressed.

"Due to personal health reasons, Stephen and Gillian won't be touring for the foreseeable future and will not be joining for this show," the band wrote via Instagram on June 29. "Unfortunately, the circumstances make it impossible."

This makes frontman Bernard Sumner the only original member of the "Blue Monday" hitmakers to perform at their headlining spot at Primavera music festival in Chile, which runs Nov. 26-28.

Sumner will perform alongside bandmates Phil Cunningham and Tom Chapman, who joined the group in 2011.
