DEVO cancel all gigs after Mothersbaugh injured
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 28 October 2010
DEVO have had to postpone or cancel the rest of their 2010 tour dates – mainly in the US – because guitarist Mark Mothersbaugh has seriously injured his hand.
The band issued a statement yesterday that read: “DEVO deeply regret that they have had to postpone all of their upcoming live dates for 2010 due to a serious hand injury sustained by guitarist Bob Mothersbaugh. A glass shard sliced Mothersbaugh’s right thumb to the bone, severing a tendon. He underwent immediate emergency surgery and is expected to make a full recovery after proper care and therapy”.
Mothersbaugh and fellow DEVOer Gerald Casale will still attend the Moogfest event in North Carolina later this week, though, where they are due to be presented with the first ever Moog Innovation Award by the Moog music instrument company.
