The Smile Cancel European Tour Due To Jonny Greenwood’s Medical Emergency

The Smile has been forced to cancel its European tour due to lead guitarist Jonny Greenwood having an “infection that needed emergency hospital treatment.” The group, which features Radiohead‘s Thom Yorke and Greenwood, along with drummer Tom Skinner, announced their tour cancellation with an Instagram post on Friday. “A few days ago, Jonny became seriously ill from an infection that needed emergency hospital treatment, some of it in intensive care. Mercifully he is now out of danger and will soon return home,” the band’s statement reads. “We have been instructed by the medical team in charge of Jonny’s care to cancel all engagements until he has had time to make a full recovery. To that end, the Smile tour of Europe in August is cancelled. Refunds for headline shows will be available from your ticket provider. We all wish Jonny a speedy recovery.” (Variety)
