Rock the Park in London, Ont., announced on Wednesday that the Neil Young with Crazy Horse cancelled its summer tour, including a headline spot at the festival on July 13.
The iconic Canadian rockstar was forced to take a long break from his tour after “a couple” of people involved fell ill at a show in Detroit.“We are still not fully recovered, so sadly our great tour will have a big unplanned break,” Young said in a statement. Brad Jones, the owner of Rock in the Park, wished Young a speedy recovery and said that Bryan Adams had agreed at short notice to take over the slot.
“From one Canadian rock legend to another, we will rock the park Saturday to close out the 20th anniversary,” he said.
