Bill Kelliher, guitarist with US rockers Mastodon, has had to pull out of the band's European tour after being hospitalised in London. His bandmates have decided to fulfill their commitments to the Slayer-headlined European Unholy Alliance Chapter 3 tour as a three-piece, but hope Kelliher will be well enough to re-join them for their own headline tour which kicks off in Utrecht in Holland on 30 Nov and finishes at the December edition of All Tomorrow's Parties in Somerset on 7 Dec. The specifics of Kelliher's illness are not known, though doctors are currently monitoring his condition which is reportedly improving.
