My Morning Jacket has been forced to cancel their upcoming European shows due to singer Jim James’ stage accident at a recent concert in Iowa.

The tour was scheduled to start on October 29 in Dublin and wrap up in Glasgow on November 14 but have no immediate plans to reschedule.

“It is with great regret that we have to announce the cancellation of My Morning Jacket's up-coming tour to Europe due to injuries suffered by Jim in Iowa City,” states the band on their official website.

“For the fans who have purchased tickets, we would like to extend our gratitude for your support and understanding. Our hope was to merely postpone the tour, but as our scheduling does not allow that to happen in the immediate future, we feel it is best to cancel this tour in hopes of re-scheduling at some point.”

“We would also like to say 'thank you' to all the fans who have reached out to Jim with their well-wishes as we all hope for his speedy and full recovery.”

The band will resume their tour on December 27 in Chicago, Illinois.
