According to a statement on the band’s Facebook page, Meskil was attacked by a gang late at night near his hotel, hit on the head with an ice pick and robbed of his passport, credit card and cash. He was taken to a hospital where he was diagnosed with head trauma, multiple fractures to his face and jaw as well as massive blood loss.

Police have stablished identities of some of the subjects and Meskil remains in the hospital resting.

 

The band has already canceled two scheduled shows in Roselare, Belgium, and Osnabrück, Germany, but aside from those two the group hasn’t said anything about future events.
