Frank Carter has been forced to postpone his scheduled Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes tour after he was involved in a serious car accident in Devon on Thursday.
In an Instagram post, Carter detailed that he is “lucky to be alive”, and left the incident with “some cuts and scrapes, a kneecap in the wrong place, bruised ribs and a headache that won’t go away.
“My friend Pete was less fortunate, he was cut from the wreckage by no less than 11 firefighters with a triple fractured pelvis, ruptured spleen, multiple broken ribs and the kind of cuts and bruises you get from being hit by a car.”
The accident took place just days before The Rattlesnakes were set to embark on their Monster Energy Outbreak Tour; scheduled to kick off in New York on Monday, September 23rd. Carter revealed that he has been forced to postpone the first week of the tour as he is unable to fly with the injuries sustained.
“I have unfortunately been told I am unable to fly while my body recovers. As it stands the first week of our American tour will not proceed as planned.
“We looked at all the ways I could come and play the shows but once the doctor had seen me it was clear flying to New York this weekend was not an option. We will do everything in our power to make it up to you and are reviewing all the options including rescheduling.”

We wish everyone involved a speedy recovery.
