The Low Anthem Cancel Tour Following Bus Crash

US psych-folk outfit The Low Anthem have been forced to cancel a run of tour dates after they were involved in a crash.

The incident happened in Washington over the weekend, with the band saying they are “lucky to be alive” and a lot of their instruments have been smashed.

All four members of the band as well as their sound engineer and a videographer are reportedly nursing minor injuries, with guitarist Bryan Minto on crutches.

A Facebook post says that Minto’s “fighter-pilot reactions saved the lives of a few pedestrians.”

“Despite the sadness, the event brought us closer and left us determined to heal up and get back out to share Eyeland with you. We are going to take a deep breath and do that,” the post said.

The band’s fifth album, Eyeland, came out earlier this month.
