Rosanne Cash, daughter of late country legend Johnny Cash, “deeply regrets” having to move the dates, her management said in a statement, but added that she had done so on the advice of her doctors.
Rosanne Cash has postponed three dates on her tour due to a “medical emergency”.
The 71-year-old daughter of late country legend Johnny Cash “deeply regrets” having to move the dates, her management said in a statement, but added that she had done so on the advice of her doctors.
The statement, posted on Rosanne’s Instagram page, read: “Rosanne Cash must postpone her performances due to an unexpected medical emergency.
“She is recovering under her doctors’ supervision, who have recommended a temporary restriction on travel and performing. “This restriction is impacting her upcoming Wyoming and Montana shows. Rosanne deeply regrets the cancellation and looks forward to rescheduling appearances.”
The shows were scheduled to take place in Sheridan, Wyoming, on Tuesday (08.09.26), Billings, Montana, on September 9 and Bozeman, Montana the following night.
Rosanne’s next scheduled show is in Jonesboro, Arkansas, on September 19.
She will then travel to Europe for several dates in October, before returning to the States for a performance at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium on November 9.
While Rosanne’s management didn’t give any details about the nature of the medical emergency, fans will undoubtedly be worried that it’s connected to her 2007 health battle.
After going to the doctors about the debilitating headaches she was suffering from, Rosanne was diagnosed with something called Chiari I malformation – a condition in which brain tissue extends into the spinal canal.
Rosanne wrote in her book Music and Mind: “My cerebellum was very low in my skull, pressing into my brain stem, and the crowding was causing not only the pain, but it was affecting the autonomic reflexes of the body, like swallowing, breathing and balance.
“I was not in good shape.”
She had brain surgery in November that year, and spent months recovering from the gruelling operation, writing of the process: “I had a credit card–size piece of skull missing in the back of my head, filled in by what was basically Gore‑Tex, and a partially removed top vertebra.
“I felt myself putting little pieces of a puzzle together — of memory and spatial recognition, sound and rhythm, fear and frustration, time and space.”
Rosanne returned to songwriting and performing in 2008.
