Alkaline Trio UK run in doubt?

By Tom Aylott

ALKALINE TRIO guitarist/vocalist Matt Skiba has been involved in a motoring accident, and his Twitter feed seems to suggest that he’ll have trouble making the band’s forthcoming UK dates.

The following messages were posted overnight:

“my right foot was run over by a semi truck while stopped at a light on my motorcycle yesterday.Broke my foot and ankle badly.Dr tomorrow.tbc”

“hoping for walking cast so I can do our UK dates but where the breaks are it’s not likely. I’ll do my best and keep those who care posted..x”

There’s no official word from the band or their management/label on the dates at the moment, and we’re just reposting Skiba’s Twitter posts word for word!
