Folk rock group Mumford & Sons has cancelled their performance in Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Tennessee following the successful removal of a blot clot from bassist Ted Dwane’s brain.
According to The Associated Press, the Grammy Award winning band made the announcement on their Facebook page.
The band confirmed that the procedure to remove a blood clot found on Dwane’s brain was successful writing, “It is with great joy that we can announce that Ted has been discharged from hospital and is on the road to a full recovery. The surgery went well, and the excellent medical team helping him are very pleased with his progress.”
The band humorously adds, “He has been nothing short of heroic in how he has handled the whole ordeal, and now it has been medically proved that he does indeed have a brain.”
The “Lover of the Light” band then informed that they will not be able to make their scheduled appearances at Bonnaroo, where the band was slated to headline.
“It is with sadness that we have to announce the cancellation of our scheduled performances at both Bonnaroo and Telluride Festivals, and our show at Cricket Wireless Amphitheater in Bonner Springs, KS,” the band writes. “If we could've we would've, you know that about us. We trust that you can respect our collective desire to encourage Ted to make a full recovery, and that this is based purely on the medical advice we have received.”
The band ends their message with a note of sincere gratitude.
