Dave Matthews has announced that he will no longer be performing at two major events this week due to a critical illness in the family. The events in question are FireAid, a benefit concert organized for Los Angeles-area wildfire relief, and the MusiCares Person of the Year benefit gala.
FireAid, a star-studded concert aimed at raising funds for those affected by the fires, was set to feature Matthews alongside John Mayer at the Kia Forum. All proceeds from FireAid will go towards supporting individuals impacted by the wildfires. A 501(c)(3) has been established for FireAid, with the Annenberg Foundation overseeing the distribution of contributions through a dedicated committee.
