TORONTO — One member of British pop group The Wanted was missing during a special appearance in Montreal on Tuesday — the same day they cancelled part of their 2014 tour.
Max George did not attend an acoustic performance at the Belvedere Room sponsored by Public Mobile.
On Sunday, the “Glad You Came” stars announced via Twitter that George “headed home to attend some family matters” and asked fans to “send positive thoughts.”
No further details were provided.

Bandmate Tom Parker tweeted: “‘Sending my love to @MaxTheWanted Be strong brother. We’re here for you!! :) x”
Then, on Tuesday, The Wanted took to Twitter to announce the cancellation of European dates on their 2014 tour.
“To all our fans in mainland Europe, we’re really sorry but due to some unforeseeable changes in our scheduling, we’re having to cancel our European tour dates in February/March,” read a message posted online. “Thanks for your ongoing support.”
The group’s members said they were “totally gutted” by the decision to cancel shows and explained: “It is out of our hands.”
Parker, Jay McGuiness, Nathan Sykes and newly engaged Siva Kaneswaran braved the Montreal chill without George, checking into the W Hotel ahead of Tuesday’s promotional appearance.
