Mumford & Sons bassist hospitalised with brain blood clot
London folksters, Mumford & Sons have been forced to cancel a handful of U.S tour dates after their bassist Ted Dwane was taken to hospital with a blood clot in his brain.
Dwane was admitted to hospital on Monday (10 June), with the band’s upcoming dates in Dallas, Woodlands, and New Orleans, Louisiana all scrapped as an effect.
The musician is expected to make a swift and full recovery, with a show in Austin this Sunday still set to go ahead as planned.
The group have released the full statement on that matter:
“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.
Sadly we have to postpone three upcoming headline shows planned for this week … All dates will be rescheduled and will be announced as soon as we can … We have no plans to cancel or postpone any other appearances along this current tour.
We’re all wishing Ted a speedy recovery.”
