My Morning Jacket Cancel UK Tour

Feature by Dave Kerr | 16 Oct 2008

Injury has forced popular U.S country funk combo My Morning Jacket to postpone their forthcoming U.K tour which was due to take in a date at Glasgow's ABC on the 14th of November.

A statement from the band on the matter reads:

"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 James in Iowa City. For the fans who have purchased tickets, we would like to 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."
