Black Crowes lose more shows to illness
The Black Crowes have canceled another batch of shows due to illness, with the band erasing the remainder of its September schedule from its itinerary.
The group--which recently canceled concerts in Las Vegas; Santa Cruz, CA; and Mesa, AZ--has now added shows in Los Angeles; Santa Barbara, CA; San Diego and Santa Rosa, CA, to the list of victims of "an unexpected illness within the band," according to the Black Crowes' website.
The band plans to reschedule the Las Vegas date, with tickets for the old date to be honored at the make-up show; the remainder of the shows will not be made up. "However, efforts are being made to reschedule these markets in early 2009," the group said in a statement.
The Crowes plan to resume what's left of their US tour Oct. 5 in Alpharetta, GA. The band is scheduled to hit more than 30 cities on its fall/winter run, concluding the trek in December, when the group returns to California for a five-night run at The Fillmore in San Francisco. The complete schedule is included below.
The band continues to support its first studio album in seven years, "Warpaint," which surfaced earlier this year. The set debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 chart, spawning three singles so far: "Goodbye Daughters of the Revolution," "Wounded Bird," and the recently sprung "Oh Josephine," which hit radio earlier this month.
The group--made up of brothers Chris Robinson (vocals) and Rich Robinson (guitars), along with Steve Gorman (drums), Sven Pipien (bass) and new members Adam MacDougall (keyboards) and Luther Dickinson (guitar)--took a four-year hiatus following its previous studio set, 2001's "Lions." The rockers returned to the live stage in 2005 with seven sold-out shows at New York City's Hammerstein Ballroom.
