Iconic rocker Rodriguez has been forced to cancel his upcoming Australian tour, just weeks before it was set to kick off.
Back in July, it was revealed that enigmatic musician Sixto Rodriguez was set to return to Australia in 2019. His seventh tour of the country, and first since 2016, this trip down under was set to see the famed rocker supported by the likes of Sarah Blasko and Caiti Baker.
Sadly, with only weeks to go until the tour was set to kick off, Rodriguez has sadly cancelled his upcoming visit.
In a statement made by Frontier Touring, they explain that “due to medical restrictions, Rodriguez’s planned shows in Australia & New Zealand in February and March have been cancelled.”
“Rodriguez is very upset at having to let anyone down, and apologises to everyone affected for the inconvenience caused. Frontier Touring wish Rodriguez a speedy recovery,” the continue.
However, there is a bit of good news, with Frontier Touring explaining that Rodriguez is planning to return to Australia when he’s feeling a bit better, however, there’s no word yet as to when this will be.
Rodriguez’s cancelled tour was set to kick off in Sydney on February 5th, and was to travel to every state and territory, with appearances at A Day On The Green festivals in Queensland, Victoria, and South Australia.
