Devendra Banhart Sucks At Skateboarding, Cancels Shows

On Saturday, Devendra Banhart was skateboarding before his show in Tempe, Ariz., when he pulled a Wavves and fell. Banhart broke "some bone" in his leg, according to a note on his website, so has canceled the last two nights of his tour, despite his best intentions to keep on keepin' on. Rest assured that he, too, is bummed about the incident:

hey there friends. so your old pal Devendra just broke some bone in his leg skateboarding before the show yesterday. i'm ok thanks but we had to cancel the last few shows of the tour. I am SOOOOOOOOOO sorry to all of you who were planning on seeing us and the Grogs and we will really miss playing for you. i wanted to play the shows anyway like in a bed or something but the dr's didn't think that was a great idea. THANK YOU forever for your support, it means the world to us and again, SORRY to all of you.
love,
devendra

The shows, in Salt Lake City and Denver, will be rescheduled at some point, according to AEG Live. But if you've got the dough and can't wait to see how the jump to the majors affects his live show, Devendra is still expected to play the Isle of Wright Festival in June. As long as he stops trying to kickflip that stair set, that is.
