Melvins have been forced to cancel all 20 dates of their summer European tour.
The band were due to kick off the run with a performance at the Bristol Exchange on June 15, but those plans have been scrapped as it's emerged that drummer Dale Crover is currently battling an injury to his back.
Crover says in a statement: “Dear friends, I regret to inform you that I have to cancel our upcoming European tour. I’ve been dealing with a back related injury and I’m unable to perform at this time.
“I feel awful that I have to let you all down like this. I want to assure you that I’m working very hard to return 100% better! We will come back as soon as we can. Thank you for understanding.”
The band’s US tour which will take place throughout September, October and November in support of their 2018 album Pinkus Abortion Technician will go ahead as planned.
