They wrote: “Last Monday my best friend, and our drummer Joe was hit by a truck while on his bike here in Dublin. His leg was broken on impact and he became tangled in the truck’s trailer where his skull suffered a complex fracture. Miraculously and thankfully he is alive. After a couple [of] long operations he is now on the road to recovery."
The group apologised for the cancellation of the tour but reiterated that Seaward's recovery was their priority.
