THE WHO will be postponing all remaining dates on their “THE WHO HITS 50!” North American tour which includes a Winnipeg show at MTS Centre on Thursday, October 8, 2015.
Roger Daltrey contracted a mystery virus and after extensive tests he was diagnosed with viral Meningitis. Doctors prescribed a period of rest. The band apologize to fans and realize that the postponement will cause an inconvenience for ticketholders.
Roger said, “We are very sorry to disappoint our fans in this way. For the last four weeks, I have been in and out of the hospital and have been diagnosed with viral Meningitis. I am now on the mend and feeling a lot better but I am going to need a considerable time to recover. The doctors tell me I will make a complete recovery, but that I should not do any touring this year.”
Pete Townshend added, “We are rescheduling all the shows for next Spring 2016. We apologize to all our fans who have supported us in the last 50 years. Once Roger is completely well we will come back stronger than ever and Roger and I will give you all a show to remember.”
