The bassist with legendary Somerset rockers Reef is in hospital with a serious head injury, the band has reported. Jack Bessant, who was a founder member of the rock band, suffered what the band has described as an accident, and remains in hospital.
In a message posted on the band's social media channels, the group said it was saddened to make the announcement. The group said: "We are saddened to announce that our bass player Jack Bessant has suffered a serious head injury due to an accident early this week.
"We will sadly no longer be able to perform this weekend's shows in Plymouth, Bournemouth and Wolverhampton which we will obviously look to reschedule as soon as possible. Tickets for these shows will remain valid for the rescheduled dates. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused and are hoping that we will still be able to play the rest of the shows on this UK tour as planned.
