Splendour In The Grass Act's Drummer Breaks Shoulder

Due to play some absolutely massive arena shows when they're in town for Splendour In The Grass this July, British alt rockers The 1975 have revealed that their drummer George Daniel has unfortunately broken his shoulder.

The band's manager Jamie Oborne tweeted with the news that Daniel had "slipped getting off [sic] tour bus". Frontman Matty Healy tweeted a few more details, stating that Daniel would be taking some time out from some shows but the band would not be cancelling any dates.

. @Gdans1975 is ok, he's just sad he's gonna miss some shows over next few weeks while his shoulder heals. Slipped getting off tour bus...

With a friend of the band filling in behind the kit on the band's extensive US and Europe tour commitments, here's hoping Daniel is all healed when the band are here for Splendour.
