New Order announced Monday that Stephen Morris and Gillian Gilbert will not be joining their show at Primavera in Chile in November “due to personal health reasons.”

“Circumstances make it impossible,” the band said in an Instagram post. That leaves frontman Bernard Sumner as the only original member of the seminal post-punk band who will perform at the Santiago, Chile Primavera festival, which runs Nov. 26-28. Phil Cunningham and Tom Chapman, who have been performing with New Order since 2011, will join Sumner onstage.
