Dead & Company have announced tonight’s concert at Saratoga Performing Arts Center in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., has been canceled.
Initially, the band did not share any details as to why the show was abruptly canceled but did confirm that the remaining Dead & Company Summer Tour dates were expected to be unaffected. Following the band’s statement, guitarist John Mayer shared in an Instagram story the details as to why the show could not go on.
He wrote, “This morning my father suffered a medical emergency and was transported to the ER where he received much-needed and great care. He is now fairly stable and will continue to undergo some procedures, but as you can understand, I have to stay in NYC and can’t plat tonight’s sho in Saratoga Springs.”
As the show is canceled and not postponed, tickets for tonight’s performance will be refunded automatically at the original point of purchase.
