"Really sorry to be cancelling our U.S. tour. My left hand has been playing me up for a while and unfortunately, it finally decided to throw a tendon tantrum," says White in a statement. "We tried to scale back the upcoming shows to avoid making it worse, but unfortunately, I have a torn tendon that the doctors have said only rest and physiotherapy will heal...back soon."
The tour was scheduled to run through a July 26 show in Omaha, Nebraska.
White's injury is the latest in a year seemingly filled with ailing rock musicians. The Black Keys' Patrick Carney injured his shoulder, Florence Welch of Florence + the Machine broke her foot, and, most recently, Dave Grohl broke his leg after falling off the stage at a Foo Fighters show in Sweden.
