"Thanks to prompt and professional care Brian is recovering well."We would like to extend our grateful thanks and sincere apologies to the fans who made a huge effort travelling to see us in Osaka, especially after long queues in the heavy rain."The band will return to the UK at the end of the month for the Reading and Leeds festivals and will embark on a headline tour in December.
