The Long Blondes have once again been forced to cancel tour dates as guitarist Dorian Cox continues to recover from a serious illness. The band has canceled all their August dates, which consisted only of festival appearances.  The band previously canceled the remainder of their July tour after Cox fell ill. The good news is that Cox seems to be recovering. In a Myspace blog post the band wrote:

We are happy to be able to tell you that Dorian is improving slowly and is on the road to recovery. However, as he is still in hospital, we will be unable to play the rest of the festivals we had booked this summer. We’re very grateful for all the messages of support we have received and for respecting our privacy too - we couldn’t ask for nicer fans than you lot.
