The Goo Goo Dolls have canceled the rest of their Canadian tour after singer John Rzeznik fell ill with pneumonia. In a message shared by the band, the group said Rzeznik has been under medical care but has not recovered enough to continue performing. The announcement brings an early end to the band’s scheduled run across Canada.
The canceled dates included shows in several cities that were set for this stretch of the tour. Fans who bought tickets can get refunds through their original point of purchase, according to the band’s update.
The decision pauses live plans for now, but it does not appear to affect everything on the group’s calendar. The Goo Goo Dolls are still scheduled for a pair of Las Vegas performances in May, followed by a summer tour with Neon Trees.
Rzeznik’s illness comes as the band continues a busy period of touring activity. For now, the focus is on his recovery, with the group stepping back from the road until he is well enough to return.
