Cage The Elephant have had to cancel the remainder of their tour after their guitarist suffered an on-stage injury.
The band has been traveling Europe, hitting up festivals and concert venues while showcasing their latest album. At Sweden’s Pinkpop Festival, however, guitarist Nick Bockrath injured himself and the band has now confirmed that he is unable to play the remainder dates.
