Mumford & Sons star Ted Dwane is at home recovering after having brain surgery.

The 28-year-old bassist had emergency surgery last week after a scan revealed a blood clot on the surface of his brain, but he is now convalescing and has thanked fans for their messages of support. In a posting on the band's website - accompanied by a picture of him sporting a shaved head - he revealed, "Bear with a sore head! Thanks so much for all the well wishing, it seems to be working! I'm home."

Mumford & Sons bassist Ted Dwane has undergone emergency brain surgery.

According to a statement released on the band's official website, the English rocker had a blood cot in his head:

"Ted has been feeling unwell for a few days, and yesterday he was taken to a hospital to receive emergency treatment... The scans revealed a blood clot on the surface of his brain that requires an operation. Ted is receiving excellent care and we are being assured that he will recover quickly from surgery."

The band was forced to postpone three shows - two in Texas and one in New Orleans - but has stated that they do not intend to postpone any others: "We have no plans to cancel or postpone any other appearances along this current tour."

The other members ended the statement on a touching note: "We're all wishing Ted a speedy recovery. Much love, Mumford & Sons."

Mumford and Sons Made Sacrifices for New Album

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Upcoming Releases, Folk, Rock,

Mumford and Sons have made "sacrifices" for their new album.

"The Little Lion Man" band, who formed in December 2007, hope their second record, Babel, will change people's view, after being labeled "folk," a tag they disagree with.

"The cynics can all f**k off. We think this new record will attract a different audience and broaden people's views of us. We have made so many sacrifices and we've not taken the easiest route. And so I hope people do understand where we are coming from because it's a good place, not a capitalistic venture at all," said keyboardist Ben Lovett.

Mumford and Sons’ People Trafficking Mixup

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Concerts / Tours, Gossip, Alternative, Folk, Rock,

Mumford and Sons were once accused of people trafficking.

The British folk band nearly missed a show on an American tour after deciding to travel on a vintage train, which was mistaken by police in Texas as a vehicle used to smuggle people over the Mexican border. "In Marfa, Texas, we were pulled over by police waiting for us with cars across the track. They accused us of stowing people away on the train. It was edgy, but the gig eventually went ahead. We swelled the town about fivefold and ended up playing soccer with the police," said bassist Ted Dwane.
