    We don't know who is sick, we don't know what they have. Speculate away, but none of them care if you don't believe they are sick enough to cancel. 
    Wasn’t suggesting they weren’t sick enough to cancel. We all know how serious this band takes cancellations/postponements. It’s none of my business who is sick or what they have. Just found the wording curious is all. Got me thinking. 
    Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer

    The announcement opens up speculation as no details were given. I think the real question is, what is bad today, but TX is still on. People are traveling for those shows very soon too. This news says continue to travel.

    If this is because someone tested positive for what is now a mild common illness I'll be quite pissed. I could totally see it from these guys. 600miles drive and $200 for a hotel room. No guarantee they will ever make it back. 
    Yeah, I would hope they aren’t canceling because of Covid.  If so, they should have stayed in the bubble.
    Why don’t you guys relax with the Covid commentary. You have no idea what it is and who was effected.

    Some of the COVID commentary is weird.

    Interesting that the statement reads “obviously it’s serious” then go on to say the other scheduled shows are still on. What could be serious but also pass in 3 days? 
    When they said “obviously it’s serious” I wasn’t sure whether they meant “obviously the illness is serious” or “obviously we take the decision to postpone a show seriously”.
    Indeed, I'm thinking the latter!

    Again, any illness is a bummer, but I really hope it’s not Ed’s voice, especially after the problems of the euro tour last year. I just think that leads to longer term ramifications if it is. Anyway I shouldn’t speculate. Let’s hope for a quick recovery and everyone’s ok.

    Agreed. Sloppy communication.

    I hope not as well. But last year they were really open about the vocal cord issues, and about Covid. I am not sure it is either of those things. I guess we will find out when more information becomes available. I just hope that whoever is affected will be ok. That is the most important issue.

    This is the same wording that was used when Springsteen postponed shows in March. No info was given on who or what the illness was, there is a thing called HIPAA

    Sorry to hear about that folks.  Bummer for the fans, bummer for the band and whoever is ill.
    I was lucky, only ever had one cancellation- CSNY around '69 or '70 at Winterland.  The rescheduled show was amazing so I hope the same happens for you folks.

    We were 3 hours into our drive there when we found out from a random guy at a gas station. We had tickets to PJ in Prague last summer. So we are on a good run. Maybe these guys are getting too old for this? Well at least we got to spend the day driving around rural Ohio. 
    Not too old. Just bad luck with the shows recently. The band is healthy, still touring and making good records.

    This was the first band to pause things in 2020 and one of the last big things back in 2021, right? That shows us how serious they took COVID. If they're still that concerned (as is their right), then what the hell are they doing out of the bubble, especially Mike.

    I don't think it's COVID.

    With that said, as said above, the "this is serious" line is peculiar indeed. What could be serious enough to postpone one show, but not others...but isn't that exactly how the other shows happened? Everyone blamed the insurance policy for that.

    Still, if it was COVID, they're not smart for observing a bubble. In fact, the cancelations of 2022 did mention a bubble.

    If it's really 2024, oh well...but it's also weird the band didn't mention that.

    Until any rescheduled date comes from the band, nobody knows for sure.

    1) The band attempts to reschedule the show for after Texas. Take the emotion out of it. Doesn't this make sense? There's about 10 days between Texas and Ohana. This is all sorts of possible, right?

    2) The band attempts to reschedule for 2024. This is also possible.

    Once again, until it comes from the band, nobody knows for sure. I highly doubt one person at a venue was authorized to announce anything via social media and not via the venue's website.
    It won't be after texas. Weather is too unreliable in the fall for outdoor venue in this part of the country. Just a logistical nightmare and risk.

    It's possible but highly iimprobable. The risk vs Reward doesn't add up.

    They also know not all fans can turnaround and book last minute flights / hotels to come back. They would have to fire sale half the tickets at 50% off or more.
