Bright Eyes will not be playing their scheduled UK shows this week following lynchpin Conor Oberst's contraction of some sort of bug. Like, I dunno, the shits or something. With those white threads: bad news.

The affected dates are:

August 15 Bristol 16 Liverpool 17 Nottingham 18 + 19 V Festival

Says the band's label:

Illness has forced the cancellation. Bright Eyes would like to express their utmost thanks to all their fans and supporters and sincerely apologise for this unfortunate occurrence.

Is there a band called The Shits? There should be.
