Devo has either postponed or canceled its remaining 2010 tour dates after guitarist Mark Mothersbaugh seriously injured his hand.
The following statement was released on the band's site.
DEVO deeply regret that they have had to postpone all of their upcoming live dates for 2010 due to a serious hand injury sustained by guitarist Bob Mothersbaugh. A glass shard sliced Mothersbaugh's right thumb to the bone, severing a tendon. He underwent immediate emergency surgery and is expected to make a full recovery after proper care and therapy.
Most of DEVO's upcoming November tour dates, including Solana Beach's Belly Up, , Los Angeles' Club Nokia, and San Francisco's Warfield Theater, will be rescheduled for next spring and the public will be informed once new dates have been confirmed.
DEVO founding members Mark Mothersbaugh and Gerald Casale will still attend Moogfest on October 29th, in Asheville, NC. As previously announced, DEVO have been awarded the first-ever Moog Innovation Award by Moog Music.
The following dates are affected:
10/29 - Asheville, NC - Asheville Civic Center
10/30 - New York, NY - Hammerstein Ballroom
