DJ Snake and Tchami were involved in a car accident earlier today and though the accident was not fatal, injuries were sustained. Doctors have given orders for the two to postpone touring until they have properly recovered from their injuries.

The following statement as been released on DJ Snake's Facebook account and Tchami's Twitter account:


The accident will cause DJ Snake to cancel his performance at Surrender Night Club in Las Vegas on Thursday, October 28th and Tchami to cancel his performance at Chicago's Freaky Deaky this weekend.
