Ted Dwane - bassist of world-beating folk outfit Mumford and Sons - has been rushed to hospital for emergency surgery, after a scan revealed he has blood clot on his brain.
Dwane was taken to hospital for emergency treatment yesterday, after apparently feeling ‘unwell’ for the past couple of days. After receiving a scan, it was revealed that he was suffering from a blood clot on the brain - and it will require emergency surgery.
The band - who broke the news via a post on their website earlier today - have reassured fans that he’s receiving ‘excellent care’, and that doctors have told them that he will ‘recover quickly’ from the operation.
The band have understandably been forced to cancel three up and coming headline gigs in the US, including a gig in Dallas tonight. They’ve stated that they currently have ‘no plans’ to cancel any other gigs on the tour, and will reschedule the three postponed dates.
The full statement on their site reads:
“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. 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. We have no plans to cancel or postpone any other appearances along this current tour.
“We’re all wishing Ted a speedy recovery.”
We at Stereoboard also wish the musician a speedy recovery - if you’ve got any comments yourselves, leave them in the box below.
