Irish rockers The Cranberries cancelled the last leg of their Latin American tour Tuesday because lead singer Dolores O'Riordan has a throat infection.

In a statement posted on the band's website, the group said concerts in Mexico City, Monterrey and Tampico would be called off, but said they are "looking to reschedule them in September 2010."

The group's successful Latin American tour has already taken in Brazil, Peru, Ecuador and Argentina.

The band, most famous for the 1990s smash hits "Zombie" and "Linger" will return to the stage in early March in Lille, France.
