RUSH have been forced to postpone two of their Fort Worth, Texas shows following a diagnosis of bronchitis and laryngitis for frontman Geddy Lee.
This is the second postponement to hit the Fort Worth shows following an initial delay at the border following the band’s shows in Mexico City. The latest announcement came just hours before the band’s scheduled concert at Dickies Arena on Tuesday night.
As a result, the June 30th show has been pushed back to July 11th, with the July 2nd show (originally scheduled for June 24th) has been postponed until July 13th.
The statement from the band reads as follows:
“To our fans,
We are deeply sorry to share that we must postpone our June 30 and July 2 shows.
Geddy has been diagnosed with laryngitis and bronchitis. After being evaluated by his doctors, he has been advised that he needs additional time to rest and recover before returning to the stage.
This is incredibly disappointing for all of us. We know many of you have made travel plans and have been counting down the days to these shows. Please know this decision was not made lightly. After more than 50 years of touring, we’ve always believed that if we’re going to step on stage, we owe you the very best performance we can give—and right now, that simply isn’t possible.
We’re grateful to everyone involved for helping us quickly find new dates to celebrate together.
The June 30 show has been rescheduled for July 11.
The July 2 show has been rescheduled for July 13.
All previously purchased tickets will be honored for the rescheduled dates. If you are unable to attend, refund information will be available from your original point of purchase.
Thank you for your patience, your understanding, and for always standing with us. We look forward to seeing you in just a couple of weeks and appreciate your continued support while Geddy makes a full recovery.”
RUSH are currently on the road as part of their “Fifty Something” reunion tour. The North American trek is set to continue all the way through December, with an international run is slated for early 2027 .
We named the RUSH outing one of our 10 must-see hard rock & metal tours of the summer. Get tickets here.
