Dill sustained multiple injuries, including a pelvic fracture, broken clavicle, and multiple fractures to bones in his face. He was transported to a local hospital for medical evaluation, police said.
"He’s had two surgeries so far. Both really to repair his pelvic area and he’s going to have a third tomorrow," said band member, James Lockhart.
Dill is currently in stable condition and recovering at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas. Lockhart said his band mate's recovery will take time, and he'll likely be in wheelchair for some time.
As for performing again in Deep Ellum again, he said they’re open but hope the next experience is different.
"We’re not afraid to come back to Dallas," he said. "We look forward to it being able to do it and we really hope that police are going to continue doing what they said they were going to do and make this a safer part of town."
A GoFundMe page has been created to help pay for Dill's medical expenses as he recovers from the injuries sustained during the robbery.
