Mike Hranica of The Devil Wears Prada treated in hospital

This past Friday, November 21, The Devil Wears Prada were forced to postpone their concert in Paris, France, as reported by theprp. Vocalist Mike Hranica was observed in a state of physical distress in the fan-filmed video below. He moved to the side of the stage and knelt down before the song “So Low” ended. After that episode, the set came to an end, and Hranica later needed to be admitted to the hospital due to an unidentified illness. He is still recovering, but he was unable to attend the planned performance in Vienna, AUT, according to a statement the band released on the subject on November 23.

Our deepest apologies to our friends in Vienna as we are unable to make the show tonight. Mike was hospitalized before we could finish our show in Paris, and we’re taking an additional day of rest to prepare for the rest of the tour supporting Ice Nine Kills. Mike is recuperating.

We promise we’ll back in Paris and Vienna next year, we appreciate your understanding and look forward to next time around!

The Devil Wears Prada have always explored life’s extremes in their music. They’ve never shied away from staring down darkness, dealing with depression, making sense of confusion, soothing anxiety, or grappling with faith, existence, and death. At the same time, they’ve mirrored life’s ups and downs by alternating between crushing heaviness and heart-wrenching melodies. After over two decades of making music, their union as bandmates—but more importantly as friends—is stronger than ever. All of this time and experience ultimately empowered the group—Mike Hranica [vocals], Jeremy DePoyster [guitar, vocals], Kyle Sipress [guitar], Jonathan Gering [keys, synths, programming, percussion], and Giuseppe Capolupo [drums]—to make a statement on their ninth full-length offering, “Flowers” [Solid State]. Matching bold themes with equally bold songs, they process grief, weather struggle, and not only heal together, but creatively blossom like never before. However, they still never stop asking questions and simultaneously pushing heavy music forward.
