The Killer’s back is acting up. Rock and roll legend Jerry Lee Lewis announced he's been forced to cancel an April 10 concert in Westbury, New York with Chubby Checker.
A note, posted Wednesday to Lewis’ official Facebook page, read: “To all my fans…my bad back just gave out on me again and my doctor has ordered me to rest it before I can travel. I will make up this show as soon as I am able.”
According to Lewis’ manager, Greg Ericson, the 79 year-old had a procedure done in December to alleviate some nagging back issues. Though his condition improved sufficiently that he played a January concert in Tunica without any issues, and another show successfully in El Paso in February, Lewis' problems seem to have returned.
Lewis canceled a much-anticipated hometown concert at the Memphis’ Cannon Center in November at the last minute due to flu and fatigue symptoms following a promotional tour of New York City.
The show is supposed to be rescheduled, but no date has been finalized. Ericson confirms he’s meeting with officials at the Cannon Center this week to “find a date where we can make up the show.”
