Black Tongue have had to pull off of their tour with Chelsea Grin and more overseas as a result of injures sustained by vocalist Alex Teyen. According to Telegraph.co.uk, Teyen stepped out of the bus door—which was in motion at the time—and fell onto the motorway after having mistaken it for the door to the bathroom. This accident occurred in Poland and Teyen has suffered a number of injuries to his face and head as a result. Polish authorities suspect alcohol was involved in the accident. Responding officer Piotr Kaciak said of the incident:
“The victim told his colleagues he was going to the toilet. The toilet turned out to be engaged so he opened the bus’s door instead and stepped out while the coach was still moving. Judging by the manner of the victim’s behaviour, speech and smell we suspect he was under the influence of alcohol.”
The injuries are not thought to be entirely serious, but will take some time to heal. Thus far the band have cancelled their UK/European run (see below) but still plan on joining the US leg of the trek.
“Hey everyone as you may have heard we have unfortunately had to pull out of the Ashes To Ashes EU/UK run. We will still be making the US portion of the tour and will see you all soon. More details coming soon along with new dates to go back to the cities we unfortunately have to miss.”
