Decemberists Member Taken Ill
11-01-07
The Decemberists have announced that they have been forced to cancel their tour as one of the bend members has become severely ill. The tour, called The Long And Short Of It, was a conceptual show where the band would play each scheduled city twice; one night was dedicated to their shorter, poppier songs while the other focused on their longer, more dramatic pieces.

The band posted this statement on their official webpage:
"One of our band members has been ill for a while but we thought all would be well in time for these tour dates. After a couple shows, though, it has become clear that the illness is much worse than we had initially realized. We need to return home so our friend can mend. It saddens us to disappoint our fans. We hope everybody understands it is only because of an extreme situation that we had to cancel a tour we've all been excited about doing since the idea was originally hatched."
