Vampire Weekend (http://www.vampireweekend.com/) drummer Christopher Tomson has returned from the hospital (http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/page/news/49016-vampire-weekend-drummer-injured-in-hit-and-run) to deliver some VW news via MySpace blog (http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=105993385&blogID=362701220&Mytoken=8E2DBF90-8FEF-4C6F-9D61BC3365B85D02178582837).

On the plus side, VW have already rescheduled their Orlando and St. Augustine shows for early June, and the Walkmen will still play the original dates this week. So really, it's just a single festival appearance and an in-store that are lost to the sands of time. And since we'll all get to see the band on "SNL" this weekend, we can handle that, right?
After they play "SNL", Vampire Weekend will scurry to meet up with the Walkmen and kick off their tour in Atlanta on March 9. [MORE...] (http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/49068-vampire-weekend-cancel-shows-to-play-snl)
