Musician Paul Jason Klein of LANY has shared an update on his health following a recent accident. On Tuesday, June 11, Klein posted on Instagram that he had been hit by a car while riding his Vespa last week, leading to the postponement of LANY's upcoming shows.
The 36-year-old singer from Tulsa, Oklahoma, detailed the incident and his recovery in a joint post with his band. "Last Thursday night, I was hit by a car while riding my Vespa home from the gym," he wrote, alongside a photo of himself in the hospital. "I don’t remember much after the collision... I woke up on a stretcher being put into an ambulance."
The first photo in the post showed Klein with his eyes closed, his face bloodied from injuries to his forehead, cheekbone, and chin. Another photo depicted him sitting with a bandage on his leg and bruises on his face and knees.
"I've cried many of happy and thankful tears over the last month," Klein, who has previously dated Dua Lipa and Nicola Peltz Beckham, said. "I'm lucky to still be here. All my vitals are in good standing but walking and moving is still a battle I face each day. I get better every day and that is assured by the desire to reach 100% again."
The note, which was also posted on Twitter, details the news that LANY have postponed their live shows in Australia and New Zealand to allow Klein more time to recover. “the doctors have advised us to reschedule our upcoming shows in australia and new zealand to speed up my recovery,” part of the caption read. “if you’ve purchased a ticket for these shows please hold onto them. new dates will be announced soon. thank you for understanding.”
According to the band’s website, LANY is scheduled to perform in Australia on June 19, 21, 23, 26 and 28. The band will also perform in New Zealand on June 30.
“This experience has deepened my sense of purpose, and I can’t wait to heal and get back to performing,” Klein continued. “All other tour dates remain unchanged. I love you all and this life so much! See you soon ❤️.”
The post ended with a photo of Klein at home, smiling into the camera with a black eye and giving a thumbs up.

The verse signifies that all creatures stand in need of Allah, in all conditions and situations. They all seek His help willingly or unwillingly. The earthly creatures ask for their specific needs. In this world, they need sustenance, health and welfare, and comfort; and in the Hereafter, they need forgiveness, mercy and Paradise.

Who else besides the Absolutely Powerful Being, the Lord of Majesty, is able to respond to their needs every moment of the time? Therefore, 'every day' is followed by the sentence هُوَ فِي شَأْنٍ 'He is at some task', that is, His Attributes know no limit or count, and keep finding their manifestations in diverse ways all the time. He gives life to some and causes others to die. He elevates some and others He abases. Some He

He alleviates the adversity of some; He causes the aggrieved ones to smile; He grants the requests of suppliants; He forgives the sins of the sinners and makes them deserving of Paradise; He gives power to some, and He snatches it away from others and abases them. In sum, every Attribute of Allah keeps finding its manifestation in diverse ways all the time
