EUROPEAN TOUR CANCELLED

[D. Sinclair]

From the band:

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 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.

[Salacious D]

Wow.

Aww man. The boys have got to be super bummed about this.

Wow.

[corey]

Hold on for the "why does the band hate Europe?" comments. You know they're coming.

[logan5ive]

That sux. Does this mean Jim's injuries are more serious than we've heard?

[Taterbug]

So this makes Chicago there 1st show since the injury. Looking forward to a well rested and recovered band to unleash the FURY.

[ALady]

This is seriously troubling.  I hope Jim is all right.

[European-stranger]

That sucks, I was so happy to see them in Berlin, after seeing MMJ at RCMH in June!

I hope you come to Europe sometimes in 2009.
PLEASE!!

[naltonj]

Wow.

All I can say is wow.

My European vacation just got WAY less awesome.

Feel better, Jim.   :(

[walterfredo]

wow, I'm officially concerned about NYE.  I'd love to hear some updates as to exactly what's going on with Jim.  Get well JJ.  

[Winterland]

Get well Jim, hope that this is nothing too serious.

Look forward to seeing you Chi-town!

[crazylove]

This is so worrysome.  Who cares about future concerts?(Although I would not ever want to comtemplate a life without MMJ concerts.)  We just need Jim healthy and well and ready to rock.  So take you time, Jim, and get well!    


Is there anything we can do to help? :-/ :-/ :-/

[Grandpaboy]

Noooooo. "How can this happen again? When will i ever get to see this band? Why do they hate Europe so much?"
> No, seriously: the most disturbing part about this cancellation message is the phrasing of those last few words: "we hope for his full recovery". I really don't like the idea that full recovery is only something to be hoped for. So please, get well Jim. Europe will be ready for you and the boys to conquer it, whenever you're good and ready.

That sux. Does this mean Jim's injuries are more serious than we've heard?

Id assume so.

Itd be nice if they could update all of us on what he exactly injured and how he's doing.

I kinda feel lucky now that at least the CHI shows are rescheduled and not totally cancelled.

[xmascriminal]

Wow, we really need some more information. I had no idea how serious this was.

[Jellyfish]

I hope Jim is ok.Very troubling thoughts racing through my mind.

[MarkW]

I don't care about the cancellation, even though the November date was a glowing highlight in my calendar.

I just hope Jim makes a quick and full recovery.

[ultravisitor]

Wow, this is looking really shitty for Jim.  I hope they're all just playing it on the safe side, rather than this being a really serious issue.

[Paulie Walnuts]

DOUBLE FUCK! I booked a sea crossing to France (non-refundable), and a hotel in Amsterdam for 2 nights (non-refundable)!

What a bummer!

[LowDownLuvDawg]

wow did not see this coming... hope everything is cool
