A lot of folks excited about the start of the big Willie Nelson/Alison Krauss tour have been disappointed to see a number of the early dates cancelled or rescheduled. The official word is that “an unforeseen and urgent health concern that requires immediate attention” is the reason why several shows in May are off.
Citing the privacy of the individual involved, no further details have been revealed, though we have learned that this is not an issue with Alison’s voice. That’s good news.
What’s not good news is that someone in the AKUS camp is dealing with an unpleasant Spring surprise, and we hope to hear soon that all is well on that front.
Here is a listing of tour stops that have been cancelled or rescheduled.
- May 1 – Murray, KY – CFSB Center – Rescheduled for May 21
