Mastodon Guitarist Bill Kelliher Hospitalised

Mastodon guitarist Bill Kelliher has been hospitalised, according to a spokesperson for the band.

Doctors in London have been monitoring his condition since November 3, which is "improving at press time". It's not known what is exactly wrong with Kelliher.

This won't affect the rest of the band's tour however, as the remaining members - Troy Sanders, Brann Dailor and Brent Hinds - will continue as a three-piece.

It's hoped Bill will be well enough to rejoin his friends for their European tour, that begins on November 30 in Holland.
