From the band:
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. 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.

I've heard it's a private matter.

What happened to him?
I was pissed, I was out of town when they came through Iowa City so I didn't see the show.
He stumbled between two monitors on the front of the stage. As far as i'm aware, he was in hospital over night and injured his leg.
I'm so, so gutted about the cancellation but hope he makes a full recovery :(
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
At least I'm glad that I saw them once this year. Sooo great...
I'll Hold The Pain... Release...
Yourself
1 - They're not doing a show
2 - Turns out they are, but it's at a festival I have no way of attending
3 - They're coming back to Europe, but not to Ireland
4 - Turns out they are, but it's a support gig
5 - Support gig turns into a headlining gig
6 - Entire tour gets scrapped
Karma, you know how to aim for the testes.
According to the band's site, he sustained traumatic torso injuries; hope it's nothing serious.
As some of you may have heard we had to cancel our show last evening in Iowa City. We were finishing up the last few bars of "Off The Record and just like any other night we were all having a great time. Jim went to get closer to the audience on his side of the stage, and as he moved forward to step onto the sub-woofer the lights darkened, and he inadvertently stepped off the stage. Upon falling, he suffered traumatic injuries to his torso, and was immediately taken to the hospital.
Per the doctor's orders, Jim will be off the road and recovering from his injuries for the next two to three weeks. Sadly, we must postpone the two shows in Chicago on Thursday and Friday until further notice.
For those who attended the Iowa City show, we would like to extend our gratitude for your understanding and cooperation. We take our fans and performances very seriously, and would never cancel a show unless it was absolutely necessary. Please know that we will be making every effort to return to your fine city.
Thank you so much to our fans for the kind sentiments and well-wishes on Jim's behalf. We hope for Jim's quick recovery and to be back out on the road soon.
With Love,
My Morning Jacket
