Dave Manson cancels all tour dates amid 'challenging' health concerns
Dave Manson cancels all tour dates amid 'challenging' health concerns Show Caption Hide Caption 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees announced The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has announced its 2025 inductees, which include hip-hop pioneers Outkast and '80s icon Cyndi Lauper. unbranded - Entertainment Dave Mason is still dealing with serious health issues, leading him to cancel all tour dates this year. The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and founding member of '60s prog-rock band Traffic, announced on June 3 that he's still battling an infection he contracted in March. 'I'm incredibly grateful to my team of doctors − this has been challenging territory, to say the least,' Mason wrote on Instagram, adding his thanks to fans for their support. 'Your kind messages have lifted my spirits more than words can express.' Mason, 79, ended his note, 'Recovery is a long road. My love for you all runs deep.' The musician, who released his memoir 'Only You Know & I Know' last fall, postponed his 2024 tour after a serious heart condition was discovered during a routine medical checkup. In March, he released 'A Shade of Blues,' his 21st album, featuring appearances by Michael McDonald and Joe Bonamassa, but a spring tour to support it was also shelved. Mason's upcoming shows included a summer run with Kansas and 38 Special as well as solo dates through August. All tickets will be refunded automatically at point of sale. Review: Heart returns to the road with feisty songs and a robust Ann Wilson In addition to his guitar work with Traffic, Mason is regarded for playing with Jimi Hendrix, Paul McCartney and the Rolling Stones as well as writing the soulful 'Feelin' Alright?,' which Joe Cocker popularized with a finger-snapping version in 1969. Mason's solo work includes the 1977 hit ballad 'We Just Disagree.' Through the years, Mason battled addiction and endured bankruptcy, but told USA TODAY last year that he's tried to stay active and healthy. 'I eat, I sleep, I play. That's basically my life,' he said. 'Everything is great, other than just getting a little bit older.'
