Snow Patrol have cancelled their next three concerts after guitarist Nathan Connolly "lost the use of his hand".
They were due to continue their European tour in Denmark and Germany but those shows will now be rescheduled.
Writing on Facebook, the band said: "We are very sorry to announce the cancellation of the our next three shows: Copenhagen, Hanover and Stuttgart.
"Nathan has lost the use of his hand and cannot play the guitar. Like a hero he played the show in Werchter with the same problem but ended up having to play most of the set with one finger.
"He’s now lost the use of all his fingers and needs rest and rehabilitation.
"As his guitar is a huge part of our sound it is just not possible to do a full show without him so it is best to refund your money and try and reschedule the shows for a later date.
"We are so sorry to cancel. We really wanted to play these shows."
