All the dates are being rescheduled, perhaps as soon as late summer. All previously purchased tickets will be honored for the new dates. The original tour was to have started May 15 in New Orleans and had been set to wrap up July 10 in Camden, New Jersey. Browne recently announced that he’s been diagnosed with COVID-19, but reported that his symptoms are relatively mild, thankfully.
In a joint statement, Browne and Taylor say, “it’s deeply disappointing for both of us to have to call it off and reschedule (and reschedule we WILL)! As we all now realize, COVID-19 is a serious, real and present danger. Moreover, our public health is all of our responsibility.”
They add, “So let us listen to and follow the directions of our public healthcare people and support their efforts in this unprecedented time of global pandemic,” they add. “Love those around you and, above all, stay safe and healthy.”
Tayor also has postponed a June 21 show he’d scheduled at Boston’s Fenway Park with special guests Shawn Colvin and Brandi Carlile. In addition, he has a July 4 concert lined up the famed Tanglewood music venue in Lenox, Massachusetts, but right now, there’s no information as to whether or not that event will go forward.
