Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes have postponed the start of their fall tour due to a “serious car accident.” Frontman Frank Carter was involved in a car accident Thursday night (Sept. 19).
Carter explained in a statement that he and his friend Pete were taken to a nearby hospital after the accident in Devon. Carter walked away with “some cuts and scrapes, a kneecap in the wrong place, bruised ribs and a headache that won’t go away.” Unfortunately, his friend, Pete, suffered from a “triple fractured pelvis, ruptured spleen, multiple broken ribs and the kind of cuts and bruises you get from being hit by a car.”
“I have unfortunately been told I am unable to fly while my body recovers,” Carter said in a statement. “As it stands the first week of our American tour will not proceed as planned. We looked at all the ways I could come and play the shows but once the doctor had seen me it was clear flying to New York this weekend was not an option. We will do everything in our power to make it up to you and are reviewing all the options including rescheduling.”

Everyone at GENRE IS DEAD! wishes for a speedy recovery for Frank and Pete.
