Image Credit: Maury Phillips/WireImage.comRespected Canadian producer-artist Daniel Lanois has canceled all upcoming tour dates after a motorcycle crash in L.A. this past Saturday, a press release announced today. “Lanois suffered multiple injuries but is expected to be released from intensive care soon,” the release states. “Due to the severity of the injuries, Lanois…will be recuperating for the next two months.” He had previously scheduled a European tour for this July.
Lanois is best known for his close working relationships with the likes of Bob Dylan (Oh Mercy, Time Out of Mind) and U2 (The Joshua Tree, Achtung Baby, All That You Can’t Leave Behind, and more). He has also released several albums of his own material, and recently started a new trio called Black Dub. The press release says Black Dub “will release their debut album when circumstances permit.”
The Music Mix sends its best wishes for Lanois’ speedy and full recovery.

Awww man, that stinks. Glad that he’s not too badly injured. I cannot wait for Black Dub’s album. Trixie Whitley is going to be huge. Just like her dad should’ve been.
Good grief. Love this guy. And really hatin’ motorcycles right now. Daniel Lanois’ “Acadie” is one of my all-time faves.
Hopefully Lanois will get well quickly. He’s got plenty more great work ahead of him. Looking forward to hearing Black Dub as well as his production work on the new Neil Young and Brandon Flowers albums.
Best wishes to Daniel Lanois for a full recovery.
total bummer. Lanois’ sound us instantly recognizable after 25 years. something rarely said these days. here’s hoping he fully recovers.
MARCUS RUTALE thank you for the Daniel Lanois experience. JJ Tucson AZ
Danny, so sorry to hear the news, hope you’re feeling much better real soon. Always loved your work. Respect.
Sorry to hear this. Best wishes for a speedy recovery from a woman whose husband seems to be constantly recovering from skiing, riding and indeed motorcycling injuries. I’m also a fan of your work with Dylan and Emmylou Harris.
I received a tweet from Lanois on Saturday, the same day as the accident. He said “Sweeping up in LA. Headed to the canoe for Black Dub rehearsals soonish. Nuit Blanche plans with the Toronto team.” I then spent a half-hour on the Black Dub website, and was totally psyched for this album and tour.
Was so sorry to hear this news today. First Bono’s back; now this. It’s like there’s a U2 curse or something!
sadly it might be punishment for producing the most nasally created music in the universe. U2 is NOSE BLOWING
wow kimmy, that’s harsh. this is a person after all who is in pain. wonder what the universe will “punish” you for.
Wow. Between this and Bono’s back injury, it looks like God has it out for the U2 crew.
Brian Eno may be next! D:
Sending prayers up for you my brother take care. Follow the orders of your doctors, far too much music inside you now.
Continuing to hold you up to the Maker for residual mending. <
