Rush has postponed its June 30 and July 2 concerts at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas, after lead singer and bassist Geddy Lee was diagnosed with laryngitis and bronchitis.
The June 30 show has been moved to Saturday, July 11, while the July 2 performance is now scheduled for Monday, July 13.
All previously purchased tickets remain valid for the new dates. Ticket holders unable to attend can request refunds at their point of purchase.
Band Statement on Postponement
The band released an official statement on Tuesday, explaining that Lee's doctors advised additional rest before he returns to the stage.
"This is incredibly disappointing for all of us," the statement read.
"We know many of you have made travel plans and have been counting down the days to these shows."
This is the second delay for the band's Texas stops.
The July 2 concert had already been pushed back from its original June 24 date due to travel and border-related disruptions.
"Please know this decision was not made lightly," the band added.
"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 current tour, titled "Fifty Something," marks the first time the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees have performed live in the United States in over a decade.
The lineup features original members Lee and guitarist Alex Lifeson, along with keyboardist Loren Gold and new drummer Anika Nilles.
"Thank you for your patience, your understanding, and for always standing with us," Rush said. "We look forward to seeing you in just a couple of weeks."
The reunion tour was supported by the family of original drummer Neil Peart, who died of brain cancer in 2020.
His widow, Carrie Nuttall-Peart, and daughter, Olivia, issued a joint statement endorsing the tour.
"We are thrilled to support the Fifty Something tour, celebrating a band whose music has resonated and inspired fans for generations," the family said.
After the rescheduled Texas shows, the band is set to play four consecutive dates at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois, starting July 16.
