After things being up in the air for the last two weeks with Snow Patrol frontman Gary Lightbody's vocal chords, the Belfast band are ready to reschedule their postponed tour dates. It was rather nerve-wracking for a moment, with everyone unsure of the severity of Lightbody's throat conditions. "I had another check up yesterday and my little friends are still hanging on for dear life and my throat looks raw apparently," Lightbody said in a press release. "To be honest I still find it hard to look at it long enough to see what the doc is getting at. I believe her though."

Be sure to catch them this time around. Apparently the cause of the cancellations was polypoid lesions on his vocal chords, not the kind of ailment you want your lead singer to be suffering from. Best of luck in the healing process and we'll see you on the road!
