Johnny Truant have had to cancel all remaining July dates of their headline tour due to the lead singer Olly Mitchell falling on stage and dislocating his knee! He is under strict orders not to do anything for at least 3 weeks, therefore only the August UK dates will be able to go ahead.
Olly released this statement below:
"Never in 8 years have we had to cancel shows under these circumstances. But unfortunately in Luton 2 days ago I dislocated and fractured my knee. It's with a heavy heart that we have to cancel the next 3 weeks of show as I'm on doctors orders to stay in bed and off my foot so that I'm able to continue with our touring schedule when I'm well again. I want to thank everyone that has come out so far and supported us, we were having a fantastic time and you guys have all made it very special. We will be rescheduling the shows for December time and so get ready for a big come back, send my knee good vibes!" - Oliver
