“The bad news just dropped: Blur will not be able to perform their concert at Beauregard. Dave Rowntree, the drummer, was injured this weekend and must rest for future shows.” The festival indicated in a statement where it did not give more details about what happened with the musician.
The Beauregard Festival announced that it will be Royal Blood who will take the place of Blur as headliners and also announced the refund process for all Blur fans who want to ask for their money back before the band’s cancellation.
Blur has not commented on this injury
What shocks many is that, despite the fact that the announcement was made around 5 in the morning (Mexico time), so far Damon Albarn and company have not mentioned anything about Dave Rowntree’s injury and its severity.
In fact, a few hours ago and through the band’s official Twitter account, those of Blur shared a photo where they reminded fans that there are 5 days left until the shows at Wembleywhich will formally start their reunion tour (which includes the Corona Capital in November).
Though fans are wondering if there will be any changes to Blur’s shows at Wembley
Let’s hope Dave’s injury isn’t something serious and these days off will help him play at Wembley and play with Blur on the other dates they already have scheduled around the world, because no one wants them to apply a Blink-182.
Especially since in this long-awaited return tour to the stage, Blur will surely debut several new songs live from their next album ‘The Ballad of Darren’as well as other musical gems that have not been interpreted for quite some time.
