Graves posted the following this morning:


Hi everyone, just giving you all an update on Rhys. He was released from hospital last night after a CT scan confirmed he has kidney stones which were the cause of severe abdominal pains. Rhys is safe at home now, probably still high on morphine, but unfortunately he still won't be able to continue the tour which is a huge blow for our band. However, our good friend James from RIVALRIES will be doing the rest of the tour in place of Rhys so please come out and show your support! We've got a few things to announce soon and Rhys will be back on the road with us in a few months.


Rhys would also like to thank everyone for the kind messages and well wishes received from all of you yesterday.
