Jas Shaw of Simian Mobile Disco has been diagnosed with AL amyloidosis, a rare condition that affects organ and tissue functions. The UK electronic duo have cancelled their forthcoming North American tour “for at least a few months” while he receives treatment, according to a statement posted to their Twitter page. The illness, for which there is no known cure, is most commonly treated with chemotherapy, according to the NHS. A scheduled show with Deep Throat Choir at London Barbican on April 4 will go ahead as planned, with profits going to the UCL Amyloidosis Fund (donate here). Their last record, Welcome to Sideways, came out in 2016. Their new LP, Murmurations, is due out May 11 via Wichita Recordings.
