Luciano Pavarotti Postpones Farewell Concert in Canada

May 31st, 2006

For those of you who still didn’t get the bad news and same as me already bought the tickets: Luciano Pavarotti has been forced to postpone his June concerts in Canada and Washington due to an unexpected set-back in his recovery from recent treatment for a painful lower back condition…Terri Robson, Luciano Pavarotti’s London-based manager, said in a statement today, “Luciano Pavarotti was admitted to a New York hospital with back problems earlier this year. He subsequently underwent surgery,
which was pronounced 100% successful. In a statement, issued last month, his doctors announced that he would be fit and able to recommence performing in June. However, he went on to develop an infection during his stay in hospital; this condition has unfortunately delayed his recovery time. He is currently undergoing a course of intensive physiotherapy in New York.”

The Luciano Pavarotti Canadian and Washington, D.C. Farewell Concerts were due to begin in Montreal on June 3.

This and the other June concert dates were moved to a new rescheduled dates:

Montreal (June 3) moved to October 22
