Dillinger Escape Plan have been forced to cancel part of their upcoming tour due to numerous injuries within members of the band. Guitarist Brian Benoit who recently underwent major surgery last December aggravated his shoulder on their last American tour. The band with Brian's blessing recruited ex Fenix TX guitarist James Love to fill in dates until Benoit was fit enough to return to the fold. However the night before the band left for Europe founding member Ben Weinman was involved in an automobile accident that left him in hospital. Undeterred Dillinger decided that cancelling shows was for other bands and Ben literally went from the Hospital to the airport.

However during the bands show in Madrid Spain at the Festimad Festival it became apparent that all was not well with Ben. He blacked out at one point during the set (as a result of injuries sustained in the accident) and the band had to cut their set short as a result. On doctors orders Ben has to return home for two weeks of rest


Ben Weinman commented "Dillinger are not the kind of band who cancel shows without good reason and unfortunately I have a bad reason - I'm fucked"
