The Long Blondes have been forced to cancel European festivals appearances due to guitarist Dorian falling ill.
The band have issued the following statement:
On 9th June, Dorian was rushed to hospital after falling ill, and he is still in hospital in Sheffield in a serious condition. Because of this we will regrettably be canceling all our live appearances until the end of July (see below). Dorian is improving slowly and we will keep you updated on his condition. If you would like to leave a message on MySpace, Facebook, or through the website, we would be glad to pass them on to him when we visit.
Feel better soon Dors.
