Disturbing news from Mumford & Sons

From their facebook page:

DALLAS, WOODLANDS & NEW ORLEANS SHOWS POSTPONED - STATEMENT FROM THE BAND

To our fans -

Our friend and bandmate Ted has been feeling unwell for a few days, and yesterday he was taken to a hospital to receive emergency treatment. The scans revealed a blood clot on the surface of his brain that requires an operation. Ted is receiving excellent care and we are being assured that he will recover quickly from surgery.

Sadly we have to postpone three upcoming headline shows planned for this week in Dallas on Tuesday 6/11, Woodlands on Wednesday 6/12, and New Orleans on Thursday 6/13. All dates will be rescheduled and will be announced as soon as we can; all tickets for this week’s events will be honoured at their rescheduled dates. We have no plans to cancel or postpone any other appearances along this current tour.

We're all wishing Ted a speedy recovery.
Much love,
Mumford & Sons

Haha!  ZING!

I'm not sure what would be more restorative than some fresh and clean Telluride air. Hope he makes a speedy recovery and can join us all at 8,750'

No doubt.  Maybe we should all sign a get well card?  That would be a darn big card but how cool would that be for him?

[headlight]

I think that a big card is a tremendous idea, although I expect it will only be signable in TP! ;-)

Maybe on a t-shirt...inside and out...size XXXL...or perhaps a tarp that is past its prime

Kinda diggin the shirt idea.  The 40th anniversary artwork with a few thousand sigs?  Maybe long sleeved...

[yojo]

Pretty crazy news. I wouldn't be surprised if the bass player couldn't play the shows in Telluride. Luckily for them their are more than enough qualified bass players to help them out!

Might have to sign inside and out to accomodate that # or even close to it.

I kind of like the Tarp idea too, but we could almost certainly would want to go with New and not "Past it's Prime!"

Would someone please be so kind, as to add a box of sharpies to the packing list?

I'll bring some extra sharpies from my house! haha love both the shirt and the tarp idea. but yes, a new tarp would be better, i wonder how well it would absorb sharpie?

[JesiRae42]

I always carry at least one Sharpie but have a pile of about 40, I will add a "few" more to the bag, fine point and lots of colors even, all the better to cram more signatures in. 

And I wasn't suggesting a tarp that's seen one too many late night crunchy frogs, but one that's been danced on just a little longer...Wearing down the protective coating that would make it difficult to sign 

Can you tell I'm in prep mode?
