The lead singer of the popular indie rock band Sticky Fingers, Dylan Frost, was unexpectedly rushed to the hospital just moments before their gig in Brisbane on Saturday night. The band took to Instagram to apologize to their fans, expressing their regret for not being able to perform. They were overwhelmed by the amazing turnout of fans who had gathered at the Riverstage concert venue, only to be disappointed by the cancellation.
Frost’s sudden illness prompted concerns for his health from fans, with some expressing their disappointment and others empathizing with the band’s decision to prioritize Frost’s well-being. The band assured fans that they would reschedule the performance for a later date and promised to make it up to everyone who had traveled far and wide to be there.
However, the cancellation is not the first setback for Sticky Fingers. Just months ago, they were dropped from the Bluesfest festival lineup due to complaints from other artists. Frost had been accused of threatening and abusive behavior, especially towards Indigenous singer-songwriter Thelma Plum. Despite initially defending the band’s inclusion, festival organizer Peter Noble ultimately made the decision to remove them from the lineup due to mounting pressure.
In response, Sticky Fingers expressed their disappointment at being dropped and highlighted their contributions to the music community, including funding music education programs in disadvantaged regions. They emphasized that the narrative of perpetual cancellation towards Frost, who has been diagnosed with a mental illness, is difficult to accept.
Prior to the recent cancellation, Sticky Fingers had been busy touring Europe, performing in various cities such as Madrid, Barcelona, Milan, Paris, Munich, Copenhagen, and Sweden.
Overall, fans and the band alike are hopeful for Frost’s recovery and eagerly anticipate the rescheduled performance in Brisbane.
