Psychedelic Porn Crumpets: Australian band cancel Leeds show at Project House after singer bitten by a dog
A band had to cancel a show in Leeds after its lead singer was bitten by a dog in the face.
Australian band Psychedelic Porn Crumpets were scheduled to play at Project House last Saturday (February 24) but had to pull the plug after singer and guitarist Jack McEwan was bitten.
Sharing a video on the band's Instagram page, he said: "Sorry everyone. I got bitten in the face by a dog last night.
"(It) absolutely took my jugular out and I'm now in the hospital. I had surgery, did it. Little bit of that, little bit of this.
"Probably can't sing later.
"So sorry to everyone in Leeds but we'll be back soon."
The caption on the story read: "Leeds! We are so sorry to do this, but unfortunately a dog bite has put Jack out of action tonight.
"100 stitches later & a tetanus shot, we’re piecing him back together slowly. Unfortunately it means we can’t play the Leeds show tonight, BUT please keep hold of your tickets and we are working on announcing a rescheduled date ASAP."
The singer provided an update on his condition from a hospital bed on Tuesday and confirmed that the band would cancel the remainder of the tour.
The caption read: "So sorry to bring you this news but unfortunately try as we might, Jack is on his way to surgery and we are unable to proceed with the remainder of the shows on this run. We are so gutted & devastated, and hate to let you down. This was our biggest run and we were blown away at the reactions in those first 3 shows. Truly grateful for you lot coming out.
"The team is squirrelling away in the background trying to reschedule these dates, please keep hold of your tickets and new dates will be announced shortly. Keep Jack in your thoughts and we’ll post an update once he’s out of anaesthesia."
