Guitar legend Robin Trower has cancelled his upcoming Bridge Of Sighs US tour, which was scheduled to begin on September 16 at Hoyt Sherman Place in Des Moine, IA. The 79-year-old completed a four-date UK tour last month, but the 30 US shows are to be shelved on doctor's orders.
"It is with great regret that I must inform you that I will be unable to fulfil the upcoming tour of the USA in September/October," says Trower. "I have struggled with health issues for some time now. Following my latest stay in hospital a few weeks ago, my doctor advised me that the only possible way for an effective long-term solution is to undertake a major operation as soon as possible.
