Jonny Greenwood, the talented guitarist of the renowned band Radiohead, was recently admitted to the hospital due to a serious illness. The 52-year-old musician, who is also a keyboardist and composer, was on tour with his bandmate Thom Yorke and Sons of Kemet drummer Tom Skinner as part of their new project, The Smile.
Unfortunately, the band had to cancel their European leg of the tour on Friday as Jonny's health took a turn for the worse. In a statement released by The Smile, it was revealed that Jonny was seriously ill and needed to rest as advised by his doctors. The band also assured fans that all ticket holders would be refunded for their cancelled shows.
The statement further explained that a few days ago, Jonny had become seriously ill from an infection and had to undergo emergency treatment at the hospital, including some time in the intensive care unit. However, the good news is that he is now out of danger and will soon be returning home. The medical team in charge of his care has instructed him to take a break from all engagements until he has fully recovered. As a result, The Smile's European tour scheduled for August has been cancelled.
The band expressed their well wishes for Jonny's speedy recovery and thanked everyone for their understanding. Fans and fellow musicians flooded the replies to their statement with messages of love and support for Jonny. Many were shocked and saddened by the news and wished him a quick recovery.
The Smile, which has released two UK top 10 albums, is often compared to Radiohead, but with a unique blend of influences from Krautrock and jazz. They were set to perform in countries like Switzerland, Sweden, Germany, and Poland next month.
We hope to see Jonny back on his feet and performing soon. In the meantime, we send our love and positive energy to one of the most talented musicians and humans of all time. Get well soon, Jonny!❤️
