Klaxons cancel tour over broken leg

The Klaxons have cancelled the rest of their Australian tour after singer Jamie Reynolds broke his leg when he jumped off the stage at a gig.

Reynolds "drastically misjudged" the drop at a concert in France and broke his tibia, needing a three inch plate put in to hold it in place.

The group have now postponed the Australian dates as a result and said on their MySpace page that they were "gutted" to have to cancel.

On the message Reynolds said: "A big apology to all those who've bought tickets for the gigs and just to say how gutted we are to be missing out on this trip. Apologies."
