The upcoming european tour in November has been cancelled due to an injury to Jim James (vocals/guitar).
From My Morning Jacket's website :
"It is with great regret that we have to announce the cancellation of My Morning Jacket's up-coming tour to Europe due to injuries suffered by Jim in Iowa City. For the fans who have purchased tickets, we would liketo extend our gratitude for your support and understanding. Our hope was to merely postpone the tour, but as our scheduling does not allow that to happen in the immediate future, we feel it is best to cancel this tour in hopes of re-scheduling at some point.
We would also like to say 'thank you' to all the fans who have reached out to Jim with their well-wishes as we all hope for his speedy and full recovery. "
Jim James got injured at a concert at the University of Iowa, when he went to get closer to the audience on his side of the stage, and as he moved forward to step onto the sub-woofer the lights darkened, and he inadvertently stepped off the stage. Upon falling, he suffered traumatic injuries to his torso, and was immediately taken to the hospital. Per the doctor's orders, he will be off the road and recovering from his injuries for the next two to three weeks.
To us in Scandinavia this means that the following shows are cancelled:
Small Vega, Nov. 4 - Copenhagen
Sentrum Scene, Nov. 5 - Oslo
Berns, Nov. 6 - Stockholm
Mejeriet, Nov 7 - Lund
