SWMRS have had to cancel the rest of their 2019 tour dates after being involved in a van accident.

Yesterday (29 October), SWMRS revealed on Instagram that they had been involved in a van accident while driving from Oakland to Denver after hitting black ice on the road.

They wrote, "Thankfully, first responders were able to quickly get them to an incredible team of doctors in the intensive care unit at a hospital in Wyoming, and everyone is going to be ok."

SWMRS added, "As a result, we are going to cancel all of our shows for the rest of 2019 to give them the time they need to recover."
