The American Celtic punk band Dropkick Murphys canceled its planned Sunday night concert in Tulsa, Oklahoma after its tour bus struck and killed a pedestrian just north of Austin, Texas.
"We were involved in a tragic and fatal accident when a pedestrian suddenly ran onto the highway in front of our tour bus," the musicians said Sunday in a post on their website.
"Police suspect a suicide. We were left with a driver that has been severely shaken up by the accident and a bus too damaged to continue onto Tulsa. Throughout the early morning hours, we tried every possible way to get our band and gear to Tulsa, but we've simply run out of time," the message continued. "As much as it pains us to miss a show and we truly apologize for it, we'd like to stop and acknowledge that a man has lost his life. Please keep him and any family he might have in your prayers."
The band said all tickets purchased via phone or Internet for the Cain's Ballroom show will be automatically refunded.
Dropkick Murphys is known for its hits "Tessie" and "I'm Shipping Up to Boston."
