Rush Postpones 2 Fort Worth Shows After Geddy Lee Develops Laryngitis, Bronchitis

3 articles · Updated · Rolling Stone · Jul 1

Summary

  • June 30 and July 2 shows at Dickies Arena were moved to July 11 and July 13 after doctors told Geddy Lee to rest and recover.
  • Alex Lifeson said Lee could “barely speak, let alone sing” during soundcheck, and the band said it would not take the stage without being able to deliver a full performance.
  • Previously purchased tickets will be honored for the new dates, while fans who cannot attend can seek refunds through their original point of purchase.
  • This is Rush’s second Fort Worth postponement in a week after a June 24 show was delayed by travel and border-related production issues; the band still played June 26 and June 28.
