Beady Eye Tickets

Injured Beady Eye guitarist Gem Archer is now looking unlikely to return to performing with the band for the rest of 2013 following an accident on August 1, in which he sufferred a serious head trauma.

Archer's wife has expressed her concerns on Twitter to the fans wishing her husband well, stating that he is "very poorly" but a "tough cookie". When a fan asked whether Archer would be back before the year's out she responded "I really don't know. He needs to mend, how long it will take I'm not sure."

The band released a statement on their Facebook page, updating fans on their guitarist's recovery. Beady Eye told their fans "We are gutted about all the cancelled shows but thank you for understanding that we need to prioritise our mate and his recovery. The good news is Gem is doing well so far and is expected to make a full recovery over the next few weeks."

"We are buzzing about getting back on stage for the UK and Ireland dates in November."

It is unknown whether Archer will perform these dates but the news that the band are intending to go ahead with the shows will come as relief to fans following their recent cancellations of a number of shows, including their double performances at V Festival this weekend.

Despite not confirming how Archer sustained his injury, it has been reported that he fractured his skull after falling down a flight of stairs.
