Muse drummer's father dies on site

CMU reports this bit of sad news from last weekend's Glastonbury:

Many thoughts this morning with Muse following the news that the father of drummer Dominic Howard died on site at Glastonbury shortly after the band's storming set there.

In a statement a spokesman for the band said yesterday: "It is with great sadness that we must announce that Mr Bill Howard, father of Muse drummer Dominic, died earlier today (Mon 28 Jun) at the Glastonbury Festival, a short time after the band's headlining set. Mr Howard collapsed on site at 1.15am and died shortly after...

Needless to say this Wednesday's Muse show in Bergamo, Italy has been cancelled. No word yet on whether the news will effect Muse's other up coming festival appearances, which include Roskilde, Oxegen and T in the Park.
