Interpol<\/a> have revealed that drummer Urian Hackney is set to join them on their upcoming tour with Sam Fogarino still unable to resume live duties.\u00a0<\/p>\n Fogarino, who joined the New York City band in 2000, underwent spinal surgery in 2023 and stepped back from touring, with Chris Broome stepping in. The following year, Fogarino told fans that, despite the surgery and recovery being successful, he was still \u201cdealing with continued health issues,\u201d<\/a> leading to Broome joining up with the band again.\u00a0<\/p>\n After a year away from touring, they\u2019re beginning a North and South American tour with a show in Miami on Saturday (March 7). They announced in an Instagram post today (March 5) that they have new music \u201ccoming soon\u201d, and that Fogarino played on and co-wrote it, but that \u201che is still not available to join us on tour for the time being.\u201d<\/p>\n They continued: \u201cIn the meantime, we are honoured to inform you that we will be sharing the stage with Urian Hackney on drums. Look him up. He\u2019s amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n In the comments, Hackney wrote, \u201cWill do my best to honour brother [Fogarino] on the kit!\u201d adding a heart emoji.<\/p>\n The drummer formed the punk band Rough Francis with his brothers, Bobby Jr. and Julian, in 2008, while he\u2019s also part of The Armed<\/a> and has played with Iggy Pop<\/a> as well as bands including Trash Talk<\/a> and Converge<\/a>.<\/p>\n As for Interpol, their first album since 2022\u2019s \u2018The Other Side of Make-Believe<\/a>\u2019 seems to be getting closer. Representatives confirmed as far back as August 2024 that they were working on it<\/a> and that Fogarino was involved amid his continued recovery.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n
