Neil Young & Crazy Horse have been forced to cancel a series of dates in the UK following a broken hand suffered by guitarist Frank 'Poncho' Sampredo.
The group were scheduled to play Liverpool and London next weekend but those dates, along with ones in Belgium, Norway, Denmark and Germany, have been shelved.
A statement from the band read as follows: "Due to an accident involving Crazy Horse, the remaining dates on the Neil Young and Crazy Horse tour of Europe and the British Isles have been cancelled. We are sorry for any inconvenience this causes to our fans or the festivals where we were scheduled to appear. As you must be, we too are disappointed at this unfortunate turn of events."
Neil Young & Crazy Horse played a very divisive show in Dublin's RDS earlier this summer. A section of fans who attended the show were left disappointed when Young eschewed many of his most well-known songs in favour of sprawling, distortion-laden songs from his most recent albums with Crazy Horse.
While fans likely should have been aware that Young's catalogue with Crazy Horse is a lot more raw and heavy than some of his more iconic and gentle solo material, it probably didn't help things that radio adverts for the show pumped out 'Heart of Gold' in the background.
Neil Young & Crazy Horse released two albums last year - 'Americana' and 'Psychedelic Pill'.
