London (ANI): Pop punk band Fall Out Boy have decided to call on a shaman for their current U.S. tour to banish a curse that has been plaguing them. The band have been running into a number of bad incidents on their current road trip, including several injuries to crewmembers, technical glitches, and a bout of severe food poisoning.

After they became convinced that the tour is jinxed, they called in the witch doctor, and they even made “reverse voodoo dolls” in a bid to turn their luck around. “It’s actually been a little bit cursed. We've had two trips to the hospital and we've had a show that was cancelled due to lightning,” the Daily Star quoted bass player Pete Wentz as telling TheAquarian.com.

“There was a food poisoning that ran rampant through one bus, and then someone broke their ankle, or did something to their ankle. So we have a shaman coming in to bless the tour today, and we're making the opposite of voodoo dolls, whatever that is. There's a bit of a hex on this tour, but the show's nuts. We’re doing anti-rain dances. We're going to make it happen. We need this show blessed,” he added.
