Transcript

00:00Hello to everyone out there, especially our European fans that are preparing to

00:07come see us this summer. Unfortunately, I regret to inform you that those shows

00:14will have to be canceled due to a freak accident that happened the other day. I

00:22broke my foot pretty bad playing with my kids. It's pretty gnarly. I'll spare all

00:31the details but we're fortunate enough to have some great doctors here in

00:35Nashville that gave me emergency surgery and I'm on the mend but they've told me

00:45that I can't be on my feet or traveling or anything for the next eight weeks or

00:50so and it's a it's a big bummer man. We were so excited. We've been preparing

00:57for this tour for a long time. We've been preparing for a lot of things. We've

01:02been in the studio recording. We have a bunch of new songs. We were gonna debut a

01:09few of them on this run. We had a lot of exciting things planned and now we're

01:16just gonna have to pivot and find a new way to continue the work that we've

01:23started. I'm very excited when we do get to show you the stuff that we're doing

01:30and in the meantime we're gonna do whatever work we can while I have these

01:37limitations but exciting stuff is coming. I know this isn't the message that anyone

01:45wants to hear and it's certainly not the message that I want to be sending but

01:48it's gonna be all right. Everything's gonna be good and and hopefully we'll see

01:55y'all soon. Wish us luck.

01:58No fun. Love you guys. God bless you. Hope to see you soon. Bye.
