On late Saturday night/early Sunday morning, the Dropkick Murphys were involved in a tragic accident. After their San Antonio show, the band was en route to the Tulsa show. While they were driving, a man apparently ran onto the road. The man was struck and killed by the band's tour bus. Currently, police suspect a suicide. The man has not been identified as of yet.
Following that, the band canceled their Sunday show in Tulsa. It appears the tour will continue subsequently, though. You can click read more for the band's official statement.
Hello Tulsa fans. We have some tough news - we have to cancel tonight's show at Cain's Ballroom.
After last nights San Antonio show we were enroute to the dallas airport to drop off Al and then continue on to Tulsa (as we mentioned yesterday Al is flying home for the funeral of a life long friend) Sadly however, just north of Austin we were involved in a tragic and fatal accident when a pedestrian suddenly ran onto the highway in front of our tour bus. Police suspect a suicide.
We were left with a driver that has been severely shaken up by the accident and a bus too damaged to continue onto Tulsa.
Throughout the early morning hours we tried every possible way to get our band and gear to Tulsa but we've simply run out of time. As much as it pains us to miss a show and we truly apologize for it, we'd like to stop and acknowledge that a man has lost his life. Please keep him and any family he might have in your prayers.
All tickets purchased via phone or Internet will be automatically refunded. Those who bought tickets in-person can return to the Cain's box office during business hours for a refund. Tulsa: thanks for your support and understanding. We will see you soon!
Love, DKM
