The Smile Cancels European Tour After Jonny Greenwood ‘Emergency Hospital Treatment’
The Smile has canceled its European tour as lead guitarist Jonny Greenwood recovers from an “infection that needed emergency hospital treatment,” the Radiohead offshoot band announced on social media 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,” reads the band’s statement. “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.”
