The Chicks Postpone This Weekend’s Tour Dates Due to Illness

The Chicks have postponed more tour dates due to illness, the band announced.

Concerts that were originally set for Nashville, Tenn., on July 27, Knoxville, Tenn., on July 29, and Greensboro, N.C., on July 30 were called off this week.


After announcing that they had to cancel the Nashville show just hours before showtime on Thursday, on Friday afternoon the country group informed fans that this weekend’s concerts in Knoxville and Greensboro were also not happening.

“We have made the difficult decision to also reschedule our shows in Knoxville and Greensboro due to illness. We are so sorry for the inconvenience, but our priority is to put on a show you all deserve,” The Chicks wrote in an update on their official social media accounts.

“All original tickets will be honored at the rescheduled performances,” they posted on Friday. “Wild Rivers will still support the newly rescheduled dates. There are no changes to additional dates at this time.”

The Chicks — Martie Maguire, Natalie Maines and Emily Strayer — are currently touring across North America on The Chicks World Tour 2023. The world tour launched in June in Oslo, Norway.

Obituaries: Canadian Artists and Industry Figures Remember David Clayton-Thomas and Clive Davis

Last week, the music world lost two genuine legends. Here are tributes to them both from Canadian stars and industry notables.

David Clayton-Thomas (born David Henry Thomsett), the Toronto vocalist and songwriter who earned global success and multiple Grammys as frontman of pioneering jazz-rock group Blood, Sweat & Tears, died on June 24, at age 84.

An obit issued by publicist Eric Alper on his passing called Clayton-Thomas ''One of the most recognizable voices of his generation" while noting that he sold more than 40 million records and "helped shape the very sound of jazz-rock.''

He joined Blood, Sweat & Tears as its vocalist in 1968, prior to the release of its self-titled international hit second album. Blood, Sweat & Tears sold ten million copies worldwide, topped the Billboard 200 for seven weeks, and remained on the chart for 109 weeks.
