Ray is promoting The Kinks recently released compilation album The Journey – Part 1, which features songs handpicked by him, Dave and Mick Avory. He also talked to the paper about some of their biggest hits, includin

In a tweet published Friday, which deviated from his usual all-caps style, Smith writes, "Approx 7k tickets across approx 2200 orders have been cancelled."

In a follow-up tweet, Smith adds, "If you believe you have been wrongly cancelled contact @TMFanSupport."
