Canadian producer cancels gigs after motorcycle accident
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 9 June 2010
Canadian record producer and singer-songwriter Daniel Lanois is in intensive care in LA after a motorcycle crash last weekend.
Lanois, who has worked with the likes of U2, Neil Young, Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, Peter Gabriel and Emmylou Harris, recently formed his own band Black Dub who were due to play various European gigs next month, including a London show at the Jazz Café.
The tour has been cancelled, as has a planned appearance at the Montreal International Jazz Festival.
A spokesman for Jive Records said yesterday Lanois had suffered “multiple injuries” in the crash, adding: “[He] is expected to be released from intensive care soon. Due to the severity of the injuries, Lanois has cancelled all upcoming tour dates and promotional activity and will be recuperating for the next two months”.
