Robert Plant says he's "furious, frustrated and silent" amid a bout of laryngitis that's forcing him to postpone Tuesday's scheduled show at Meadow Brook Music Festival.
Plant's concert with his band the Sensational Space Shifters has been reset for Sept. 10. Tickets will be honored for the new date, though refunds may be obtained at the point of purchase through June 19, according to promoter Live Nation.
Scheduled opener the Pixies will not appear on the Sept. 10 bill, but if you were hoping to catch the band, you can now do it in the intimate environs of St. Andrew's Hall: The band has scrambled to put together a Tuesday night show at the 900-capacity downtown Detroit venue, with $25 tickets going on sale at 10 p.m. tonight at ticketmaster.com.
Plant had already been forced to nix his scheduled Sunday night show in Toronto, saying in a statement that "I woke up this morning and found that I had more of a similarity with a crooning Kermit than my normal Golden self."
In tonight's announcement postponing the Meadow Brook date, Plant said: "Sunday morning I woke up with a flu that's developed into laryngitis. I'm really disappointed as I've only missed one gig in 15 years and now here's two in a row. It's heartbreaking. I'm furious, frustrated and silent."
