Black Crowes Keyboardist Sidelined By Emergency
Surgery:
Black Crowes keyboardist Ed Harsch was forced to
undergo emergency surgery yesterday after becoming
severely ill following a show in Cologne, Germany. |
Harsch, who is now in stable condition, has been sidelined
indefinitely by the undisclosed ailment, and the band is now
considering whether it wants to continue with the rest of its
summer tour.
The Black Crowes were on its way from Cologne to
London (in order to open for Aerosmith at Wembley
Stadium) when Harsch took sick. He was then rushed to a
local hospital near Brussels, Belgium, where doctors
decided that the keyboardist needed to be treated
immediately.
Representatives for the Crowes indicated that the group
would most likely complete the Wembley date on June 26,
but with an alternate set list.
It was not immediately known, however, if the Crowes
would be able to play at a previously announced benefit
concert backing Jimmy Page at the Cafe Du Paris in
London on June 27. Members of Aerosmith and
Iron Maiden were also expected to pitch in for Page's
special show.
The Black Crowes were scheduled to remain out on the
road for the next month, culminating with a July 30
performance at this year's Fuji Rock Festival in Tokyo,
Japan.
