Long Blondes Pull Shows After Member Falls 'Seriously Ill'

The Long Blondes have cancelled all their upcoming tour dates after the band's guitarist, Dorian Cox, was rushed into hospital.



According to a statement on the band's website, Cox “is still in hospital in Sheffield in a serious condition.”



The guitarist was admitted to hospital on June 9th, the statement reads.



“Because of this we will regrettably be cancelling all our live appearances until the end of July. Dorian is improving slowly and we will keep you updated on his condition.



“If you would like to leave a message on MySpace, Facebook, or through the website, we would be glad to pass them on to him when we visit.”



Among the shows affected is the Long Blondes scheduled appearance at Glastonbury next week and their recently announced support slots with Duran Duran.
