| Simon & Garfunkel Postpone Tour Dates Legendary folk-rockers Simon & Garfunkel have postponed five Canadian dat es on their tour after Art Garfunkel suffered a vocal strain. The Bridge Over Troubled Water singers kicked off their trek across Nor th America with a headlining spot at New Orleans' Jazz & Heritage Festiva l in Louisiana at the weekend (24Apr10). They were due to play in Vancouver on Thursday (29Apr10) and follow up the gig with a string of shows in Canada in the following week. But they've been forced to push back the Vancouver date, as well as con certs in Edmonton, Calgary, Saskatoon and Winnipeg, on doctor's orders. A statement from promoters Live Nation reads, "In an effort to provide the highest quality performance for their audience, Paul and Art decided it would be best to move the scheduled concert dates. "The dates have been rescheduled to allow for an adequate period of res t and rehabilitation, after which Art is expected to make a complete reco very." The rescheduled dates will take place in July (10). write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Jazz News :: home page |
