The Exploited vocalist Wattie Buchan has been hospitalized after collapsing onstage during the band’s January 31 show at the Schlachthof in Wiesbaden, Germany. As such, the group’s immediate live dates have been cancelled.

The band commented:

“As Wattie collapsed yesterday during the show in Wiesbaden, Germany, we have to cancel the upcoming gigs in Tallinn and Riga. We [will] try to find new dates ASAP. Rostock and Bern we [will] announce as soon as we have more info.

Wattie is in hospital right now for observation and check-ups. He had the flu the last days and gets dehydrated – that’s why he collapsed.

Thanks and love to all the nice people who take and immediately gave first aid.

We will keep you updated!”
