Bob Seger postpones concert tour because of back issue

Bob Seger announced today that he will have to postpone upcoming tour dates because of doctor’s orders that he “attend to an urgent medical issue concerning his vertebrae.”

Among the shows being postponed is his Nov. 11 concert at Seattle’s KeyArena.

Seger said in a statement, “I’m so disappointed to have to suspend the tour as the band is on a great roll. It’s a privilege to play for our amazing fans. Hoping to be back out on the road very soon.”

Seger and his Silver Bullet Band played a sold-out show of their 2017 Runaway Train Tour last Thursday in Pittsburgh. On Saturday, Seger had to postpone his show in Columbus.

Rescheduled dates will be announced when available. Tickets sold for concerts that are being rescheduled will be honored at the new dates.
