Bloc Party Drummer Collapses, Dates Cancelled

Bloc Party drummer Matt Tong collapsed in Atlanta following their show. Tong fell ill shortly after the band’s set, and was taken to a local hospital where doctors assured that he is in a comfortable condition and not in any danger.

It is still unclear as to when he will be able to return to drumming. A spokesperson told the BBC that the injury may be due to Matt’s drumming: "Matt is known for his energetic drumming style," she said. "It's not clear at this stage when he will be fit to resume performing." A message on the band’s website asserts that they will not be playing at the Charlotte, NC, Fairfax, VA or either New York shows in the coming week.
