The Charlatans drummer Jon Brookes is currently undergoing treatment in the UK for a brain tumour following the postponement of the remaining dates of Charlatans North American tour.
The Charlatans touring schedule remains unaltered as the band have announced that The Verve’s Pete Salisbury will act as stand in drummer for the UK tour whilst Jon Brookes recovers from his operation.
Brookes, who collapsed on stage in Philadelphia, is preparing for his operation this week. It is not known how long he will be out of action but it is thought that Salisbury will complete the October UK tour at least.
The Charlatans play Liverpool's O2 Academy on 11th October.
Full tour dates as follows:
5th Hatfield, The Forum
7th Newcastle, O2 Academy
8th Edinburgh, HMV Picture House
9th Dundee, Fat Sam’s Live
11th Liverpool, O2 Academy
12th Nottingham, Rock City
14th Leeds, O2 Academy

The band and Jon want to thank all well wishers for their kind messages of support.
