Published 11th Jun 2013

Mumford & Sons bassist Ted Dwane has received emergency treatment after doctors discovered a blood clot on his brain.

In a post on the Mumford & Sons’ official website, the band revealed that Ted had been “feeling unwell” for days prior to his diagnosis.

The band have cancelled a trio of shows in America this week as Ted recovers.

The full statement reads:

Our friend and bandmate Ted has been feeling unwell for a few days, and yesterday he was taken to a hospital to receive emergency treatment. The scans revealed a blood clot on the surface of his brain that requires an operation. Ted is receiving excellent care and we are being assured that he will recover quickly from surgery.

Sadly we have to postpone three upcoming headline shows planned for this week in Dallas on Tuesday 6/11, Woodlands on Wednesday 6/12, and New Orleans on Thursday 6/13. All dates will be rescheduled and will be announced as soon as we can; all tickets for this week’s events will be honoured at their rescheduled dates. We have no plans to cancel or postpone any other appearances along this current tour.

We’re all wishing Ted a speedy recovery.

Much love, Mumford & Sons
