DALLAS, WOODLANDS & NEW ORLEANS SHOWS POSTPONED - STATEMENT FROM THE BAND

To our fans -

Our friend and bandmate Ted has been feeling unwell for a few days, and yesterday he was taken to a hospital to receive emergency treatment. The scans revealed a blood clot on the surface of his brain that requires an operation. Ted is receiving excellent care and we are being assured that he will recover quickly from surgery.

...

Poor chap. Hope he recovers.

Interesting if this impacts on their Glasters appearance.

[Wooderson]

Also - fascinating that the only post of merit regarding one of the headliners on the pre-eminent Glastonbury board 3 weeks out from the fest is about a bandmember having a blood clot and gigs being cancelled.

Backing vocals, banjo playing I think.

Very hard for him to be replaced such short of notice.

By the way guys, don't plan on mumford & sons cancelling because that will only mean one thing, they'l headline in 2014.

From Facebook - We have no plans to cancel or postpone any other appearances along this current tour.......

Are people's first thoughts about someone having a blood clot on the brain..

"Oooh exciting maybe they wont play?"

I appreciate they arent popular on these boards, but thats pretty cold

at the moment....

I guess they're going to wait for the results of the surgery before cancelling the rest of the tour, but this is brain surgery. I reckon if I had a clot that needed removing from the surface of my brain my doctor wouldn't have any hesitations signing me off for 3 weeks. Wouldn't surprise me if he's told not to fly for a while either.

I don't think a glasto cancellation is off the cards at all

RADIOHEAD TO HEADLINE!!!!!!

[evilduck]

How about Nick Cave to play for 4 hours?

[eoinca]

right that's good enough for me.

[FloorFiller]

obviously it's too early for them to say they're gonna have to cancel the rest of their performances yet as they're probably all hoping for the best, but something as serious as this... unless they can do their shows without him, sounds cancel worthy to me
