Bad news for Desaparecidos fans to the south and west of us here in Boston: Conor Oberst has fallen in, and has cancelled the remainder of the band’s North American tour. There are 21 affected dates in total, including tonight’s show in Tampa and a slot next weekend at Fun Fun Fun Fest in Austin.
Oberst’s solo appearance at Ground Control Touring’s massive 15th anniversary show at Webster Hall in New York City on December 2 has also been canned.
Here’s word from Epitaph: “Conor Oberst fell ill while on tour in Jacksonville, Florida and was briefly hospitalized due to laryngitis, anxiety, and exhaustion. In consultation with his doctors, the band has reluctantly agreed to cancel all scheduled live dates. Conor will be heading home to Omaha to recuperate. We wish him a speedy recovery.”
Refunds are available at point of purchase. Back in August, played the Paradise Rock Club in Boston.
