Rush Forced to Postpone Two Texas Shows As Singer Geddy Lee Battles Laryngitis/Bronchitis

The pushbacks came after the legendary group had to reschedule a June 24 show in Fort Worth over travel and border-related delays.

Rush‘s Fifty Something reunion tour has hit yet another snag. Just hours before they were slated to take the stage a Dixies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas, the beloved Canadian prog rockers announced on Tuesday (June 30) that they would need to push back that night’s gig as well as a show on Thursday (July 2) at the same arena due to 72-year-old singer/bassist Geddy Lee’s health.

“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,” read a statement from the group on Facebook.
