Bloc Party's Gordon Moakes and Wife Expecting First Child

If you're hoping to catch bassist Gordon Moakes perform with his group Bloc Party this summer, you may be disappointed. The 32-year-old will be off the road spending time with his wife, who is expecting the couple's first child in a few weeks, in case "the little one decide[s] to put in an early appearance."

So while the other chaps are jetting around the Pacific Rim I will be buying the groceries, attending ante-natal classes and generally preparing myself for the cloud of unknown that is becoming a Dad.

Gordon's friend Daniel Lindegren, aka Tommy Sparks, will be taking over for him for part of the tour.
