The June 30th and July 2nd shows have been rescheduled
Rush has postponed its shows for tonight (Tues, June 30th) and Thursday, July 2nd, in Fort Worth due to illness. Frontman and bassist Geddy Lee has been diagnosed with laryngitis and bronchitis, forcing the Canadian rocker to take “additional time to rest and recover” before performing again.
“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,” the band shares in a social media announcement. “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.”
Tonight’s show has been rescheduled for Saturday, July 11th, while the July 2nd show has been rescheduled for Monday, July 13th.
All previously purchased tickets will be honored for the rescheduled dates. Refund information is available at the original point of purchase for those unable to attend the rescheduled dates.
The band was forced to postpone the first Dallas-Fort Worth show last week due to “travel and border-related delays” following stops in Mexico City.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees kicked off the highly anticipated Fifty Something Tour earlier this month with four sold-out shows at Los Angeles‘ Kia Forum, marking the band’s first tour performance in 11 years. The show launched a landmark run celebrating more than five decades of Rush music and legacy, bringing the band full circle, as Kia Forum was also the site of Rush’s final R40 Tour performance on August 1, 2015, with longtime band member Neil Peart, who passed away in 2020.
Co-founders Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson are joined by acclaimed drummer Anika Nilles and keyboardist Loren Gold. The Fifty Something performances have featured two sets of Rush classics and complete album jams with an alternating set list for each show.
