Crowded House Postpone North American Tour Due to Drummer’s Lower Back Injury

Crowded House has been forced to postpone the tour while drummer Elroy Finn – Neil’s son – heals up from a lower back injury.

Lead singer Neil Finn said in a statement:

Our drummer Elroy is currently suffering a painful lower back injury and is receiving medical treatment for it. We are advised that there may be some risk in the recovery process for him to play shows at this time. The good health and future well-being of the band members has to be our priority and we have been assured that Elroy will fully recover in a matter of weeks given rest and rehabilitation. We want to bring our fans in North America the show at full strength, which is what you deserve. We apologize to all those who bought tickets for this tour but we will be announcing a new schedule as soon as we can.
