Stereophonics drummer Jamie Morrison was rushed to hospital just minutes before he was about to perform in Nottingham on Monday evening (25 November).
The musician, 41, was about to perform with his other band 86TVs when the show was cancelled at the last minute due to doctors’ advice.
The band were nearing the end of their 2024 tour, with dates remaining in Manchester, Bristol, London, Cambridge and Leeds scheduled up until 1 December – but have been advised to cancel their remaining shows.
The band told fans on social media: “We had quite a dramatic day yesterday when, minutes before doors opened in Nottingham, Jamie was rushed into hospital.”
“He is still in there and has been strongly advised by doctors to not attempt to do the shows this week.
They added: “We are all heartbroken about this – the shows on this run really have been our best ever – but obviously health comes first.
The band asked fans to send their love and well wishes to Morrison.
“Huge apologies to anyone who has made plans for these shows, especially with long distance travel. We know there are a number of you that have had plans around this for a long time and were planning on sending off this record with us this week.
“We love you and thank you for all the support. Please contact your point of purchase to arrange a refund.”
Fans and fellow musicians have been sending their support to Morrison online.
“Foundations” singer Kate Nash wrote online: “Sending love, hope he has a speedy recovery.”
“Omg,” said another fan, adding: “We hope he will recover as well as possible. Lots of love!”
“Sending out love, positivity and healing vibes to Jamie!” said another.
86TVs is comprised of Morrison, The Maccabees members Hugo and Felix White and their brother Will. The band shared their self-titled debut album earlier this year.
Morrison joined the indie rock band Stereophonics in 2012 following his departure from the Noisettes, which he had been a member of since 2003.
86TVs were formed in 2022 and signed to Parlophone Records the following year.
