GRETA VAN FLEET have reported that their guitarist, Jake Kiszka, has been hospitalized with pneumonia.
The band shared the news yesterday via their social media after announcing that they would be postponing their two remaining Michigan shows on their current “Dreams In Gold” world tour.
GRETA VAN FLEET postponed the performances after revealing that Jake and singer Josh Kiszka had woken up with a non-COVID-19 related illness. The band later issued an update, saying that while Josh had recovered, Jake’s condition had worsened to the point where he had to be hospitalized.
“Jake’s diagnosis is more complex,” GRETA VAN FLEET said via their official Twitter. “What started as a small cough on Tuesday rapidly progressed overnight requiring his admission to the hospital yesterday. The last 24 hours have been arduous as doctors were unsure of the exact illness. Fortunately, after further evaluation, they are confident in their diagnosis of pneumonia and an optimal course of treatment has been determined.”
GRETA VAN FLEET have now also postponed Saturday’s concert in Huntington, West Virginia until August 10. The rescheduled Flint show will happen on September 13 and the Ypsilanti concert on September 13.
