“My dear friends, I am sorry to say that I have fractured my ankle, which is a drag!! It began as a hairline break but somewhere between Cannes and the Royal Albert Hall, it got worse rather than better.”
He added,
“Several medical professionals have strongly suggested I avoid any and all activity for the moment and so am sadly unable to travel at this time.”
He concluded his statement by promising that they will bring an amazing show to their fans in Europe:
“To that end, the guys and I are very sorry to miss you in New Hampshire, Boston and New York but fear not, I promise we will bring an amazing show to all of you in Europe and bring our absolute best to the East Coast later this summer and make it up to those who have paid for those shows!!!”
The canceled shows had been set for May 30, May 31, and June 1 in Manchester, New Hampshire, Boston and Bethel, New York, respectively,
