Breaking the news in a press release, the band expressed their regret that the tour would not be able to go ahead, and stressed that Landis is expected to make a full recovery.
"It is with much regret that due to a health emergency, TV On The Radio have been forced to cancel their upcoming Europe/UK tour which is due to start this Friday," the band wrote in their statement. "Drummer Jahphet is in the hospital; he will be OK but is not able to travel at this time.
"TV On The Radio would like to apologize to their European & UK fans and appreciate everyone's understanding and well wishes for Jahphet at this time."
The message was reposted on the band's social media accounts.
The band were due to commence their sojourn today in Milan, Italy, and would have carried them through 12 European shows on the way to London on 21 February; no replacement dates have been projected as yet. The band recently also announced a series of US dates from March, which remain unaffected.
