"(...) Under strict instructions from my Doctors I was told I had to cancel. By this time I could hardly stand up to the infection. E-coli had completely taken over. I have always been proud of the fact that I have never cancelled a tour in my professional career, in 47 years as a musician. It had always been a personal goal of mine to maintain this feat, now sadly lost."

Ticketholders for the tour are advised to consult their vendor for refund information.
