Three Mumford and Sons appearances postponed

Bassist Ted Dwane of Mumford and Sons hospitalized

A blood clot discovered on the surface of the brain of bass guitar player Ted Dwane, has resulted in the first cancelled appearance of the “Gentlemen of the Road” tour of Mumford and Sons in Dallas tonight, according to the group’s website.

Press statements from the band, who is expected to draw 25,000 attendees to Francis Field in St Augustine for a two-day stopover concert in September, say only two other dates on the tour are in jeopardy and that there will be make-up dates in the future for missed appearances.

An open letter on the website reads:

To our fans –

Our friend and band mate, bassist Ted Dwane, 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 in Dallas on Tuesday 6/11, Woodlands on Wednesday 6/12, and New Orleans on Thursday 6/13. All dates will be rescheduled and will be announced as soon as we can; all tickets for this week’s events will be honored at their rescheduled dates.

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

We’re all wishing Ted a speedy recovery.

Much love,
Mumford & Sons
