The Envy Corps, the critically acclaimed Iowa band signed to Mercury Record imprint Vertigo, have suffered a major shock after their guitarist suffered a stroke shortly before they were to go onstage in London on Wednesday. Brandon Darner was rushed to hospital after falling ill backstage at the Water Rats venue where the band have held a residency for nearly a month now. Reports on Gigwise said nothing more than he was doing "okay" in hospital, but it is unlikely that the band will now be able to complete the rest of their dates given the severity of the event.
