English punk group Lambrini Girls are a last-minute scratch from this weekend’s Coachella Festival in Indio, Calif. after singer/guitarist Phoebe Lunny revealed that she’s suffered a neck fracture and is getting treatment for what she described as an “acute brain injury.”
“A lot of you asking about why we are not on the @coachella lineup anymore,” the band wrote in an Instagram post on Wednesday (April 9), in which they also revealed that all their previously scheduled North American headlining dates have been pushed back to this summer and fall due to the injury.
“We have to pull out of Coachella and reschedule our whole American headline tour,” the post read. “Long story short: I fractured my neck and have an acute brain injury.” Lunny also wrote that the injury took place on a recent Australian tour and that it was “misdiagnosed, late treatment, doctors orders are I can’t fly or perform for 6 weeks.”
The medically necessary performance pause, however, will not impact their scheduled U.K. and European shows, which are still slated to go forward in late May. Lunny included a cheeky picture of herself in a hospital gown in the post, in which she’s looking over her shoulder with her backside and legs exposed, surrounded by a series of broken heart emoji.
“To all American ticket holders: it’s dark times, especially in the states,” the post added. “There are so many good folks who are carving out community and lifting each other up in the face of fascism. Making space for subversion and resistance is at the core of what this band is about. Seeing people of all ages, genders and backgrounds come together to mosh, lift each other up, chant, cry, scream in both parts joyful and angry, is my greatest joy.”
Lunny noted that the group has received “quite a lot of messages” regarding their drop-off from the Coachella bill, saying they are “so gutted” to miss this weekend’s show. “We want to be there so badly. If it was a broken leg, I would do a Dave Grohl and play it,” she wrote in reference to the Foo Fighters lead singer who broke his leg during a show in Sweden in 2015 and then rallied and returned to the stage a month later to perform from a custom throne.
“This isn’t something we are taking lightly and we are really sad. We hope and pray there’s some universe we get to play next year instead,” she told fans. “Because it is my neck and brain, our hands are tied for now, but I’m lucky and expect a speedy recovery thank f–k lol.”
