Due to an accident involving their tour bus, DROPKICK MURPHYS were forced to cancel their Tulsa show.
Those aboard the bus were left shaken up after a pedestrian threw himself in the path of the tour bus, an effort expected to have been a suicide.
A statement from the band gives a brief overview of the incident:
“We were en route to Dallas airport to drop off singer Al Barr, who’s flying home for the funeral of a lifelong friend.
“Just north of Austin a pedestrian suddenly ran onto the highway in front of our tour bus. Police suspect a suicide. We were left with a driver who’s been severely shaken up, and a bus too damaged to continue.
“We tried every possible way to get our band and gear to Tulsa, but we’ve simply run out of time.”
“Thank you all so much for your compassion. We appreciate the thoughts and prayer on behalf of all involved.”
The band’s support for the tour, BRYAN MCPHERSON and BLOOD OR WHISKEY went on to play a free show as an alternative to the concert.
