Dave Mason has canceled the remainder of his 2024 tour dates after a “serious heart condition” was detected during an otherwise routine appointment. According to a statement, the discovery requires “immediate medical attention.”
The guitarist and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame member was next slated to perform in Santa Barbara, California with a handful of dates following in October and November. Despite the cancellation, Mason’s team of doctors anticipates a full and successful medical recovery for the artist.
“I’m heartbroken to have to cancel these dates, but it’s doctor’s orders,” he shared. “I’ll be back, and better than ever, in 2025.”
The 78-year-old Mason has built a reputation as a devoted touring artist, typically still delivering more than 100 live shows a year. This spring, he appeared as a special guest on tour with The Beach Boys. Earlier this month, the founding member of Traffic released a memoir, Only You Know & I Know. Grab a copy here.
