The band released the following statement [as part of a rather long piece]:
We were filming two videos last week, and leave it to our resident Tornado Of Destruction In A Small Kosher Frame known as Ben Weinman to somehow break his foot while filming A FUCKING VIDEO. Of all the places and times Ben has been seriously hurt playing, he outdoes himself and manages to break his foot in A FUCKING VIDEO. He of course was ready to go out and kick ass with a cast on his foot, which we seriously considered for a second, but figured we'd wait til he could actually kick ass with both feet just in case he did further damage to his foot, which he certainly would have. Which means we need 4-6 weeks for him to fully heal. So the bad news is that USA and Europe are both cancelled. The GOOD NEWS is that we're already rescheduling the North American tour, which will now include Canada and the USA cities that we were missing like Detroit, Austin, Portland and Seattle.
Good news for cities they were missing, as well as for the band, since they were pretty major markets.... Still, it sucks for Ben.
The band would also like to warn you that they're kind of dangerous:
Walking around in NYC the other day with Ben on crutches, our old bass player Adam in a wheelchair, and talking to Brian on the phone with his whacked out hand, I realized that its probably only a matter of time before we are all dead, Final Destination style. So if you ever see us it is probably not wise to touch us as we will likely spread the curse to you through mere physical contact, and on the flip side, if you have the ability to lift curses or hexes or weird voodoo shit like that, get in touch.Dillinger Escape Plan's new album, Ire Works, is due in stores November 13th. The rescheduled tour dates should be announced sooner than later, with details on refunds if you can't make the new dates, as well.
