Bad news for fans of Southern rocker My Morning Jacket – the band have been forced to cancel their European tour after frontman Jim James was recently injured onstage.
The celebrated group released their latest album ‘Evil Urges’ earlier this year, to almost universal acclaim by critics. A varied set, it included some Prince style plastic funk rhythms alongside the group’s trademark ethereal sound.
Jim James was recently injured after falling onstage in America. The band have issued the following statement:
“It is with great regret that we have to announce the cancellation of My Morning Jacket’s up-coming tour to Europe due to injuries suffered by Jim James in Iowa City. For the fans who have purchased tickets, we would like to extend our gratitude for your support and understanding.”
“Our hope was to merely postpone the tour, but as our scheduling does not allow that to happen in the immediate future, we feel it is best to cancel this tour in hopes of re-scheduling at some point. We would also like to say ‘thank you’ to all the fans who have reached out to Jim with their well-wishes as we all hope for his speedy and full recovery.”
