Unfortunately as you can see we are only three, our Keith Duffy is lost in Thailand. Just like the good film says, Thailand has got him now, Shane Lynch joked in a video filmed ahead of a show in Perth.

Hes not well and we dont know exactly what is happening with him at the moment, there are a lot of blood tests and one test and the other tests and hes in the hospital right now, hopefully recovering, fingers crossed.

So just letting you know we are one man down.
