Not Feeling Too Keane At The Moment

Posted at 6:52 AM on August 22, 2006 by Hans Eisenbeis

Yesterday, news arrived in our inbox that Keane, the British piano-bar trio, was cancelling a number of shows on the remainder of its summer calendar due to "exhaustion." But this was emended late last night: Singer Tom Chaplin isn't exactly tired; he's struggling with cocaine and alcohol, and he's admitted himself into The Priory, a rehabilitation clinic.

Judging by the band'sitinerary at MySpace, though, Chaplin must be in the accelerated honors class. A month of shows in the US, beginning September 7th in Chicago, are still on the schedule.

The Priory? Pfft. Chaplin could always check into Hazelden, our local, world-famous dry dock for wayward rock stars and wannabes. We're not sure that would be lucky or unlucky--or for whom-- but since Keane have no shows scheduled in the Twin Cities for the forseeable future, we'd take our chances.
