Mogwai Cancel North American Tour

By: Spacelab Research Staff

Mogwai have cancelled their entire North American tour due to drummer Martin Bulloch having trouble with his pacemaker. He was taken to the emergency room following Mogwai's performance at the New York ATP over the weekend. The band made the announcement on their web site with a message from Martin himself.

"I was taken into hospital last night almost immediately after the show at ATP. I've been having some problems with my pacemaker for the duration of the tour and it unfortunately culminated in me being sent to the emergency room. The doctors there initially thought i would have to have corrective surgery at a larger hospital nearer NYC but i have been given the all clear to travel home on the understanding that i go straight to my cardiologist on arrival back in Scotland.

Tbh, i'm really bummed about having to go home and feel for the folk who had bought tickets for our upcoming shows but i can honestly say it would be almost impossible for me to carry on at this point as my pacemaker has broken skin and the surrounding area has become infected."
