<p>MANILA -- OPM folk-pop band Ben&amp;Ben is rescheduling its upcoming Bacolod and Davao shows to prioritize the health of its drummer Jam Villanueva.</p><p>In an official statement released on Monday via their social media accounts, Ben&amp;Ben shared that Villanueva has been dealing with de Quervain’s tendinosis and “Drummer’s Wrist” for several weeks now, &quot;affecting her left arm’s ability to play the drums.&quot;</p><p>The band just had a show in Cebu last Saturday as part of its &quot;The Traveller Across Dimensions&quot; world tour.</p><p>According to Mayo Clinic, de Quervain&#x27;s tendinosus is a painful condition affecting the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist.</p><p>&quot;She still continued to rehearse with the band for the past weekend’s performances though, while working with specialists to manage her pain. We want to assure everyone that the condition is temporary and treatable – it’s something that many drummers have gone through and recovered from. But to properly heal, Jam’s doctor has advised her to completely rest her left wrist for at least the entire month of June. While we will miss the energy and magic she shares with us on stage, her health is our utmost priority,&quot; the band explained.</p><p>Because of this, Ben&amp;Ben decided to reschedule its shows in Bacolod and Davao, originally scheduled on June 8 and June 22, respectively.</p><p>&quot;We want our fans to see and hear the full experience of our album live, so we believe that rescheduling our June shows is the best direction for the tour,&quot; the band said, as it asked fans to be patient while the group finalizes details for the two shows.</p><p>&quot;We are praying for Jam’s speedy recovery. She will always have our unwavering support and we hope you could wish her a &#x27;get well soon,&#x27; too,&quot; the band said.</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DKGPkPlTCHt/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=594&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A9149110.5%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1563" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>Last month, the nine-piece band, released its newest track &quot;Saranggola,&quot; which premiered in an episode of &quot;Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition.&quot;</p><p>The song will be featured in the upcoming deluxe edition of &quot;The Traveller Across Dimensions,&quot; set for release this year.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>RELATED VIDEOS:</strong></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7Z3ya2rySc4?autoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5PF-It_FMnQ?autoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WLJkigKu_JI?autoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div>
