One of our finest bands has suffered a bit of a set back this week, as Nic Dillon of Casados was injured by a falling tree during some rough thunderstorms last weekend.
According to bandmate and wife, Heather Dillon, Nic was cleaning up some of the picnic before planning to take shelter inside when a tree fell and hit him from behind, lacerating the back of his head, fracturing his skull, breaking his scapula and several ribs and slightly puncturing his lung.
Fortunately, all is looking well for Nic, who is currently on the road to recovery in a Bloomington, Ill hospital. Update: Plans for him to return home have come to fruition, he is currently back in Urbana, and resting well in a big comfy recliner with electronic features to make it easy on him.
Scheduled performances for Casados have been canceled except for an appearance at the New Bohemia Music Festival in Cedar Rapids, IA.
We wish him a quick and healthy recovery, and look forward to seeing him on stage again soon.
