Mumford and Sons bassist Ted Dwane has been hospitalised after doctors discovered a blood clot in his brain.
Posting on their website, the band said that Dwane is due to undergo an 'emergency operation' and that several dates on their US tour have to be cancelled. The status of their headline slot at Glastonbury festival at the end of the month is currently uncertain.
"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," said the band. "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 honoured at their rescheduled dates."
They continued: "We have no plans to cancel or postpone any other appearances along this current tour. We’re all wishing Ted a speedy recovery."
