MINNEAPOLIS — With singer/drummer Mimi Parker riding out cancer treatment, Duluth rock stalwarts Low have canceled their fall tour dates with Death Cab for Cutie.
"Mim is in a pretty fragile state and it's just not possible to perform or travel for now," Parker's husband and bandmate Alan Sparhawk posted on Low's Twitter feed, after also canceling their gig this weekend at the Primavera Sound Los Angeles festival. "Very sorry."
Another veteran indie-rock act, Thao Nguyen of Thao & the Get Down Stay Down, will stand in for Low at most of the dates on the DCFC tour. Warpaint stepped up to fill in at Primavera Sound. Death Cab for Cutie posted on its feed, "We're so sad to say that @lowtheband will no longer be joining us on our upcoming tour & we're sending Mimi healing thoughts."
