Gallows forced to cancel UK shows as frontman Frank Carter splits head open onstage.
Gallows have sadly had to cancel two dates on their current UK tour due to a head injury frontman Frank Carter received onstage at The Sugarmill in Stoke on the 15th of September.
The following dates will be rescheduled for December:
18 Sep Fat Sams Dundee
19 Sep Town Hall Crypt Middlesborough
The rest of the tour will continue as normal at the following dates:
21 Sep Charlotte Leicester
22 Sep Soundhaus Northampton
23 Sep Junction Cambridge
25 Sep Carling Academy Oxford
26 Sep Electric Ballroom London
28 Sep Voodoo Lounge Dublin
29 Sep Limelight Belfast
Below follows a statement from Frank Carter:
“So while I was singing "Nervous Breakdown" I managed to trip over some kid and plant my head firmly into a monitor. I was pretty ****ed up and it took me a while to get to my feet. When I eventually did manage to stand up it was quite apparent from the faces in the front row that I wasn’t ok. I managed to put a one-inch deep gash in the top of my head and had blood running from my hairline to my chin. I finished the song and then went out to check my head was ok. Our guitar tech and good friend Nidge had a look at it and decided I needed some stitches. I went to A&E in Stoke and had my head glued back together. By the time I had got back to venue the show was over and I was gutted.”
“I want to say thank you to my youngest brother Richard Carter from Blackhole who stood in and finished the set for us...thanks fella. However, it didn’t end there! Unfortunately I have mild concussion and so have had to pull the next few shows to get my head back together and make sure I don’t take any more serious knocks. My most sincere apologies to anyone who was coming out to the shows. You have no idea how gutted I am we had to cancel the shows.”
“Thanks for everyone’s understanding and patience. I really appreciate it.”
