Promoter A.J. Maddah has confirmed that singer Jon Foreman’s young daughter had been rushed to hospital.
A statement on the Switchfoot Facebook page says, “Due to a family emergency, Switchfoot will be canceling the rest of their Soundwave shows in Australia. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers”.
Switchfoot heard of the news while in Melbourne for the Soundwave Festival and their sidewave shows.
Maddah last night tweeted, “Major family emergency for Switchfoot. They’re heading back to The U.S on next flight out”.
He followed that up with, “Singer’s very young daughter is in hospital.”
Switchfoot performed on Thursday night in Melbourne at their sideshow in St Kilda and heard of the emergency just after their Soundwave show in Melbourne.
Their upcoming shows for Adelaide and Perth have been cancelled.
