Passion Pit fronter Michael Angelakos says he's been forced to rest after a diagnosis of bronchitis and pneumonia. The rest days will cause PP to miss fest dates at Way Home Festival in Canada, as well as Detroit's Mo Pop Festival.

"I am so sorry to let you know that I will not be able to perform this weekend. Due to my lingering issues with bronchitis/pneumonia, I've been forced to cancel performances at the Way Home and Mo Pop festivals," wrote Angelakos on Twitter.

He added, "This is crushing and breaks my heart. I'm so sorry to have had to cancel all of these shows. As instructed, I have been in bed this entire time trying to get better. However, I've not gotten just well enough to perform. I must rest. If I could be out there, I would."

Passion Pit is currently touring behind its third album, Kindred.
