The upcoming Descendents tour, which kicks off in Brisbane this Wednesday night, has been dealt a rather substantial blow with news that Sydney punk mainstays Frenzal Rhomb have had to withdraw from the bill due to “a sudden  and unexpected illness”.

While specific details of said illness are currently unknown, it has been announced this afternoon that it has forced the hospitalisation of one of the Frenzal Rhomb band members and, as such, the band are no longer available for any of the four dates of the tour.

In today's announcement, the band have said they will make another announcement “in due course” as they call for fans and the media to respect their privacy.

Descendents, Bouncing Souls, Bodyjar and local supports will all still perform at each show on the tour.
