Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds have announced that member Conway Savage is undergoing treatment following the discovery of a brain tumour.
Pianist, organist and backing vocalist Savage has been a member of the Bad Seeds since 1990. He has missed the latest leg of the band’s world tour due to his ill health.
Writing in a statement on Facebook, the band have said: “Many of you have noticed the absence of Conway Savage from this Summer’s North American tour and from the current European tour. Conway was diagnosed with a brain tumour and underwent an operation just before the start of the North American shows. The operation was largely a success and he is currently at home in Australia undergoing follow-up treatment.”
The statement adds: “I’m sure you’ll all join us in sending our beloved Conway lots of love & very best wishes. We are missing him enormously. We send him all our love and thoughts.”
