George Thorogood & The Destroyers’ concert scheduled for Saturday, April 29, at the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre has been cancelled.
“With great sadness, we must announce the cancellation of our Canadian and U.S. tour dates from April 27 through May 21. George has been diagnosed with a very serious medical condition that will require immediate surgery and quite a few weeks of recuperation and healing,” posted George Thorogood & The Destroyers.
“You, our fans mean the world to us, and we know this news is not want you wanted to hear but rest assured George Thorogood & The Destroyers will be back.”
They have played Penticton numerous times over the past two decades.
Thorogood’s group reached a high level of commercial success in the 1980s with radio hits like Bad to the Bone and I Drink Alone.
