Guided By Voices were set to play a run of four shows next week at SPACE in Evanston, Illinois, culminating in a sold-out gig on New Year's Eve. Those concerts have now been canceled because singer, songwriter, and ringleader Robert Pollard suffered a fractured kneecap. The band announced the cancellations today while sharing an X-ray of Pollard's injury. According to the band's post, "Refunds will be processed automatically for all Eventbrite ticket orders immediately. Please allow 7-14 business days for credit card refunds to post back to your account. No other steps need to be taken."
Bob has fractured a knee. Let’s wish him a speedy recovery. Unfortunately, the Evanston shows in December are canceled. All tickets will be refunded. pic.twitter.com/UHOJCMkgW2

Best wishes to anyone who just got the worst news about their NYE plans. Can't think of a much better way to ring in a new year than a marathon GBV gig.
