Neil Young and Crazy Horse cancel remaining 2024 tour dates due to illness
Neil Young and Crazy Horse are hitting pause on their first tour in over a decade due to the band members experiencing recent illnesses.
On Wednesday, the musicians announced the cancellation of their upcoming North American shows, as well as their hope of making up for the missed dates in the future, in a post shared on Young's official website.
"When a couple of us got sick after Detroit's Pine Knob, we had to stop. We are still not fully recovered, so sadly our great tour will have a big unplanned break," the statement reads. "We will try to play some of the dates we miss as time passes when we are ready to rock again! We know many of you made travel plans and we apologize for the inconvenience."
