It is with great regret that I must cancel the remaining shows of my European tour. 12 days before I was scheduled to leave for Europe, I was diagnosed with eosinophilic pneumonia, a rare type of pneumonia. I was sent to a lung specialist who put me on intensive antibiotics and steroids. Two days before I was to leave, my lungs were clear, but he explained that the true recovery time was 4-6 weeks. He told me if I went on this tour I was taking a risk that I could relapse and have to start the medications again. I chose to take the risk and come as planned. I didn’t want to cancel any shows. Unfortunately all the symptoms returned shortly after I arrived in Europe and were getting worse.

When I got to the hotel after the gig last night, my fever had spiked and I was coughing up some pretty scary stuff. I can’t begin to tell you how disappointed I am, and how terrible I feel about canceling these shows, but my Doctor says I HAVE to come home now. So many people worked so hard to make this tour happen, and I apologize to everyone, but I

hope you will understand that I must now do as my doctor tells me. I gave it my best shot…….I hope I can get back. soon. Thank you, David
