For the time being Mastodon is continuing on as a trio and are hopeful that Kelliher will rejoin the group in time for their headlining tour of Europe which begins Nov 30, in Utrecht, Holland.

Details as to why he was hospitalized are sketchy at best, though Spin.com reports that a spokesperson for the band says "At this point all we know is that Bill was not feeling well upon arrival to the UK and went to the hospital where doctors are running tests now."

More details will be reported as they develop.
