Dead Cross was forced to cancel its concert on Monday, August 21st at El Rey in Los Angeles, California after singer Mike Patton was involved in a skateboard accident. After opening act completed its set, about a half hour passed before guitarist Mike Crain and drummer Dave Lombardo (formerly of Slayer) came out on stage to address the crowd. Dead Cross ended up playing yesterday at the venue to make up for that.

"There's been an accident," Crain said. "Mike was in an accident. It's not grave, but he's unable to be here tonight. He's hurt. So I'm sorry. We apologize. We're gonna reschedule. And tickets will be refunded at points of purchase."

Dead Cross is on the road supporting their self-titled debut album, which was released on August 4th via Ipecac Recordings.

Today, the band released this statement on the matter: "Patton is getting stitched up and is raring to go! He thought he could skateboard to the show last night but he wiped out on the way. We appreciate all the kind words and well wishes for Mike!"
