This story of a band forgetting their drummer on tour is absolute gold
BELLE AND SEBASTIAN were one of the most beloved indie bands of the 1990s.
The group are currently touring across the United States, but suffered a bit of a mishap yesterday when they accidentally left their drummer behind in North Dakota. If it sounds like the plot of a hipster Home Alone, you’re not far wrong.
The lead singer sent a frantic tweet asking if anyone could give their drummer a lift to St. Paul, Minnesota.

Murdoch told The Current that they left Richard behind in a Wal Mart and only noticed a few hours later.
Offers poured in…

But eventually they got him in a car to Bismarck, North Dakota, and on a flight to Minneapolis
Although there were still concerns that he wouldn’t be permitted to board the plane without identification. Eek.

There were comparisons made to Almost Famous.
Inevitble, really.

Fortunately Richard made it onto the plane. Pyjamas and mimosas – now that’s how you travel.

But now it looks as though they’ve reinstated it.

And, yes, they managed to play the show.
