Ronstadt Nixes Post-Op Gigs
Well, this is no good.
Linda Ronstadt has canceled the remaining dates on her tour in order to recover from an unexpected--and unspecified--surgery earlier this week.
"It wasn't an emergency, but it came about rather quickly, so she decided to do it sooner rather than later," the "You're No Good" singer's agent, Shelly Schultz, told the Associated Press. "It's surgery, it's completed, and she's fine."
The easy-listening legend was due to perform on the road into October, including a headlining gig at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival near San Francisco, as well as concerts in San Jose, Salt Lake City and Houston, but will instead remain in recovery mode through the end of the year.
While Ronstadt's camp has kept mum on the reason for the last minute operation, Schultz was quick to shoot down rumors of a more serious condition, telling the AP that cancer was not the culprit.
In any case, the 60-year-old seven-time Grammy winner will spend an "undetermined" amount of time recuperating in her Arizona abode before seeking some R&R in San Francisco with her two adopted children, Mary, 14, and Carlos, 12.
Earlier this month, she drew ire from her Arizona home base after telling the San Francisco Chronicle that she decided to spend more time in California nearly a year ago after being unable to bear Tucson's "strip mall culture and right-wing mentality."
Ronstadt's latest album, Adieu False Heart, was released last month.
