Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes postpone North American tour following car accident

Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes were set to kick off the their North American headlining tour tomorrow in New York City. Unfortunately, a car accident involving the lead singer has postponed the tour. You can see a statement from Carter below.

On Thursday night at 7:20pm I was involved in a serious car accident in Devon, UK. I crawled out of the wreck with some cuts and scrapes, a kneecap in the wrong place, bruised ribs and a headache that won’t go away.

My friend Pete was less fortunate, he was cut from the wreckage by no less than eleven firefighters with a triple fractured pelvis, ruptured spleen, multiple broken ribs and the kind of cuts and bruises you get from being hit by a car.

We were all taken by ambulance to Derriford A&E where I stayed until 7:30am the next morning when I was finally released with a collection of minor injuries and a new appreciation of living.

I have unfortunately been told I am unable to fly while my body recovers. As it stands the first week of our American tour will not proceed as planned. We looked at all the ways I could come and play the shows but once the doctor had seen me it was clear flying to New York this weekend was not an option. We will do everything in our power to make it up to you and are reviewing all the options including rescheduling.

Due to the last minute nature of this situation we are not able to give news on when these dates might be rescheduled but please trust us in that we are working on it and will have an update soon. We are truly sorry to the fans who bought tickets and to the legends The Beaches who are driving to New York as I write this. Check the venue websites for more information on refunds or new dates.

The list of affected dates can be seen below.

September 23 - New York, NY - Bowery Ballroom

September 24 - Baltimore, MD - Ottobar

September 25 - Philadelphia, PA - Underground Arts - Black Box

September 27 - Louisville, KY - Louder Than Life Festival

September 28 - Detroit, MI - El Club

September 29 - Chicago, IL - Cobra Lounge
