Good News and Bad News for Fans of Mumford & Sons

Let’s start off with the bad news first. The bad news is that (as I predicted) the band is having to cancel all of their remaining shows on their Summer Stampede Tour. The good news is that Ted Dwane has been released from the hospital after doctors successfully removed a blood clot from his brain.

“It is with great joy that we can announce that Ted has been discharged from the hospital and is on the road to a full recovery.” Says the band on their Facebook page. “The surgery went well, and the excellent medical team helping him are very pleased with his progress. 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 band joked.

However, then the band decided to break the bad news to all of their fans…

“Today, however, also marks the end of our Summer Stampede Tour. We were hoping to have made it out by Bonnaroo this weekend. But 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 Amphitheatre in Bonner Springs, Ks.”

We’re sure their fans will understand. After all, Ted’s health is more important than a few concerts. There will always be more concerts and festivals to attend. The important thing right now is to get Ted at 100% again so they can plan their next grand tour.
