A number of the copies of Arctic Monkeys' upcoming single have been destroyed in a fire at a warehouse in London.
The fire was started as part of the ongoing riots in the capital, and much of the warehouse, owned by Sony, was gutted. The building was used by PIAS Distribution, which distributes for Arctic Monkeys' label Domino and other independents. The band's new single, The Hellcat Spangled Shalalala, is due to be released on August 15th. However, due to the fire and loss of stock, only limited quantities will be made available.
Domino said in a statement: "While relieved that no one was injured in the incident, we're upset about the loss and destruction of our stock, and thinking of our friends at other independent labels who were also affected by the fire. We are currently working hard with Sony DADC to maintain our release schedule and keep business going as usual."
Arctic Monkeys tickets are available now.
