Slaves postpone November dates after Isaac Holman dislocates shoulder
One half of the duo has to “rest his arm to avoid permanent damage.”
Slaves’ Isaac Holman suffered an injury at a Norwich UEA gig last night (18th November), forcing the duo to cancel tonight’s show at Glasgow’s O2 Academy.
In a statement, the band’s management say: “During last nights show in Norwich unfortunately Isaac was badly injured on stage. He was seen immediately by doctors in hospital, and today was seen by a specialist who confirmed that along with dislocating his shoulder there is serious tissue damage that requires him to rest his arm to avoid permanent damage. Given that he can’t move his arm or drum, unfortunately we have to cancel tonights show in Glasgow and are looking into rescheduling the date asap. Sorry for the inconvenience to anyone who bought tickets and thank you all for your ongoing love.”

Update:

“I went to hospital and they put it back in for me but I am now in a sling and do not have much mobility in my arm. The doctor said I can’t drum for the next few weeks or there is a good chance it will come out again and cause some serious long term damage,” says Isaac.
