A band who are set to play a gig at a popular west end venue in Glasgow tonight have announced that their lead singer has suffered a serious head injury.
Californian band The Flamin' Groovies are due to play at Òran Mór. However, after their lead singer Roy Loney took a fall at the airport in San Francisco, he sustained a head injury and has been hospitalised.
His condition as been described as unstable by the band in a statement on Facebook.
The Flamin' Groovies have announced that they will go ahead with the show without Roy and have said he will be unable to join them for the rest of the European tour.
The statement reads: "Please be advised that it is with great sadness and concern that the Flamin' Groovies must announce that Roy Loney took a bad fall at the airport in San Francisco on his way to join the European tour, and sustained a head injury for which he was hospitalized.
"Roy's condition is presently not stable, and he is unable to travel. While we all hold hope for Roy's speedy recovery, it is unlikely that he will join the Flamin' Groovies' tour. The tour will start as planned, with the band performing a set including much of the "Teenage Head" album.
"We greatly appreciate the cooperation of the concert promoters, fans, and everyone in dealing with this unfortunate situation, and would like to assure that the band will put on a great show that will not disappoint."
