Morningwood have been forced to cancel shows in Chicago, Cleveland, Cincinnati and Indianapolis as the result of singer Chantal Claret's gimpy knee. The sexy lead singer injured her knee on the Brooklyn band's European tour and has been ordered to take some time off in order to avoid knee surgery. But, it looks like Claret will be back on stage for the band's July 3rd gig in Ohio.



Claret writes on the band's MySpace page:

"I just wanted to thank everyone for all of their super super sweet words of support and all that jazz when they heard about my bum leg. It is so amazingly nice, thank everyone for their awesome wishes and what not, i can't not get better with stuff like that going into the universe. Man, I sound like a silly hippy. . . I promise you I will be back on my feet in the minimum amount of time nessacery, I will continue this tour if I have to have my leg amputated..."

Very rock 'n roll.
