Bad news if you're a fan of Haim and were looking forward to seeing them at Electric Picnic this September - they've pulled out of the festival.

The three sisters will not be coming to Europe as planned this autumn, as they have cancelled all their tour dates in order to finish their second album.

They posted a note apologising to fans on Twitter, saying: "Hey guys, we'd hoped to be done with recording but as it turns out, we're at a critical point of finishing up and need to stay close to home until it's complete.

Unfortunately, we need to cancel our European performances, including Way Out West, Tivoli, Oya, Frequency, Krakow, Zurich Openair, Reading & Leeds and Electric Picnic. We hate to disappoint you guys that had plans to come see us and promise we'll be back in the near future to share our new music with you. xoxo, E, D & A."
