Overview
- The band announced Tuesday that it would postpone the June 30 and July 2 concerts at Dickies Arena after doctors diagnosed Geddy Lee with laryngitis and bronchitis and advised rest.
- Rush rescheduled the June 30 show for July 11 and the July 2 show for July 13, and previously purchased tickets will be honored or refunded at the original point of sale.
- Guitarist Alex Lifeson said in a video shared on the band’s social account that Lee could 'barely speak, let alone sing' during soundcheck, which the band cited as a key reason for the late decision to postpone.
- This is the second Fort Worth date change after an earlier June 24 show was moved to July 2 because of travel and border-related production delays.
- The postponements occur during the Fifty Something reunion tour that reunites founders Lee and Alex Lifeson with touring members Anika Nilles and Loren Gold and serves as a tribute to late drummer Neil Peart, with the band awaiting Lee’s recovery before resuming the schedule.
