"The scans revealed a blood clot on the surface of his brain that requires an operation," it continued. "Ted is receiving excellent care and we are being assured that he will recover quickly from surgery."

While the band is rescheduling performances in Dallas, The Woodlands, and New Orleans, the group assured fans that "we have no plans to cancel or postpone any other appearances along this current tour."

Furthermore, fans that have purchased tickets to the three rescheduled performances can hold onto them because new dates will be announced as soon as possible, according to CNN.

"We're all wishing Ted a speedy recovery," noted the band in the online statement.

Similar to the band, Mumford & Sons fans are wishing the best for Dwane. Twitter has been flooded with messages of support.
