Bonnie Raitt postpones multiple appearances due to unspecified ‘medical situation that requires surgery’
Bonnie Raitt is a class act all the way and super talented.
But sadly, the red-haired blueswoman was forced to reschedule several concerts citing an unspecified “medical situation” that requires surgery.
The 73-year-old Grammy winner made her fans worried when she made the announcement on April 28 – but now she has an new update.
Throughout a career spanning more than four and a half decades, the lovely Bonnie Raitt has amassed an impressive collection of accolades.
She has claimed 10 Grammy Awards, received induction into the prestigious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and secured her place on Rolling Stone’s esteemed lists of the greatest 100 singers and guitarists of all time.
The blues singer and guitarist was born on November 8, 1949, in Burbank, California and is still going strong. But recently, she faced a setback.
In April, Bonnie Raitt announced she was postponing some May shows in order to deal with a ”medical situation that requires surgery”.
“Bonnie has a medical situation that requires surgery to address. The doctors say that in order for her to heal properly, they recommend she not perform for a couple of weeks,” the statement said. “Unfortunately, this overlaps our five tour dates in May, and we are very sorry to have to cancel our performance at [Brandi Carlile’s Mothership Weekend] on May 14th and postpone our shows in Athens, Louisville, Indianapolis and Pittsburgh.”
