Looks like Neil Young and Crazy Horse’s Poncho Sampredo’s hand injury is more serious than previously indicated and the band has just unfortunately reported that the Horse has to cancel a couple of festival appearances – most notably they will no longer be appearing at the highly-anticipated first Interlocken Festival in a few weeks. Check out the band’s official release below.
August 19, 2013 – (Burbank, CA) – Neil Young & Crazy Horse regretfully announce that in addition to canceling the remaining dates on their European tour, they must also cancel their upcoming U.S. tour dates due to a hand injury sustained by guitarist Poncho Sampredo, whose doctor has indicated that Sampredo’s hand requires additional time to heal properly.
