Beirut's Zach Condon Is Hospitalised

Beirut have cancelled a string of upcoming tour dates after mainman Zach Condon was hospitalised due to ‘extreme exhaustion.’

Condon spent a brief time at hospital in Paris after falling ill on the tour. He has since been discharged, but has been advised by doctors to rest.  

A statement from the label reads: "This was an extremely difficult decision to make and was only decided on after doing everything we possibly could to make it work out.

"This is Beirut's first-ever tour, and while the band played some of the greatest shows of their lives, the attendant stress of organizing and travelling with a full-blown, 12-person orkestar took its toll.

“Having put all of his energy into each and every performance, Zach was briefly hospitalized for extreme exhaustion."

The band cancelled their remaining tour dates in France and four upcoming US dates.
