Fans have been anxiously anticipating the release of alt-band, Bright Eyes’, new album, Five Dice, All Threes, set to debut on September 20. Alongside the album’s release, the band had planned to kick off their tour with three record release shows in NYC, Chicago, and Omaha. The Chicago show was particularly sad loss, as it was a part of Riot Fest, a major event in rock music with Fall Out Boy, St. Vincent, Rob Zombie, and many other rock icons in attendance.
Unfortunately, earlier this week the band’s lead singer, Conor Oberst, had his voice give out after an allegedly disastrous show in Cleveland, as mentioned in Consequence Sound’s article on the topic, so the band made the unanimous decision to cancel the three shows.
The tour will, hopefully, pick back up on October 11 with their show in Oakland, California. Until then, let’s hope Oberst drinks lots of warm tea with honey!
Edit: The tour has now been canceled, as Oberst requires additional medical treatment for his vocal chords.
