Bret McKenzie ready to return to the stage after

Flight of the Conchords have announced their rescheduled dates after Bret McKenzie broke his hand.

Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie were supposed to be on a tour of the UK right now, but had to call off their dates last week.

However, they have now confirmed new gigs in June and July. ’Thankfully, bones heal,’ the promoters Live Nation said in a statement.

The shows at the Eventim Apollo are set to be recorded for an HBO special.

When the accident happened, McKenzie said: ‘Unfortunately I’ve broken two bones in my hand today in a very rock ‘n’ roll injury – falling down some stairs. 

‘The doctors have informed me that I won’t be able to perform for several weeks. I’m sorry not to be able to do these upcoming shows but I’m looking forward to coming back and finishing the tour when I have two fully functioning hands.

Original tickets for the March and April dates remain valid for corresponding dates.
