Of Mice & Men recently canceled this past week’s shows due to a “medical condition that requires immediate urgent attention.” Now due to bassist Aaron Pauley’s emergency surgery, the band will be missing  April 19th-25th dates of their spring U.S. tour with Beartooth, Hands Like Houses and Dead American. Pauley addressed the situation via Twitter and urged fans that, even though he couldn’t go into detail, the surgery had nothing to do with his previous ER visit. He also mentioned that the “issue was addressed before it became far more serious.”

For those worried, and to squash any fear or speculation, this surgery is unrelated to my ER visit last month. The ER visit was simply a precaution given the symptoms I displayed at the time, and though it was scary, I was given a clean bill of health when I was discharged.While I can’t go into detail about specifics in this issue yet, it’s nothing that’s arisen from any previous show cancelations or hospitalizations, and nothing related to my voice, nor is it an injury, or anything related to performing. I’ll update with specifics as soon as I’m able to. Just know this was the best thing for my health, and while I’m sad to have to cancel shows, health has to come first. That being said, know that I’m healthy and healing, and the issue was addressed before it became far more serious. I’ll see you all soon! 🖤🤘🏻

We wish Pauley a safe and speedy recovery!
