Rush has unfortunately been forced to cancel tonight and Thursday's shows in Fort Worth due to Geddy Lee being diagnosed with laryngitis and bronchitis. Both shows have been rescheduled to July 11th and 13th respectively, giving Ged close to a solid 2 weeks to recover. Here are all the details:

We are deeply sorry to share that we must postpone our June 30 and July 2 shows.

Geddy has been diagnosed with laryngitis and bronchitis. After being evaluated by his doctors, he has been advised that he needs additional time to rest and recover before returning to the stage.

This is incredibly disappointing for all of us. We know many of you have made travel plans and have been counting down the days to these shows. Please know this decision was not made lightly. After more than 50 years of touring, we've always believed that if we're going to step on stage, we owe you the very best performance we can give-and right now, that simply isn't possible.

We're grateful to everyone involved for helping us quickly find new dates to celebrate together.

** The June 30 show has been rescheduled for July 11.**

**The July 2 show has been rescheduled for July 13.**

All previously purchased tickets will be honored for the rescheduled dates. If you are unable to attend, refund information will be available from your original point of purchase.

Thank you for your patience, your understanding, and for always standing with us. We look forward to seeing you in just a couple of weeks and appreciate your continued support while Geddy makes a full recovery.
