Gordon Lightfoot delays U.S. shows after being hospitalized with food poisoning
76-year-old folk singer treated for profound abdominal discomfort and dehydration, says rep
Gordon Lightfoot has rescheduled some concert dates after being hospitalized with food poisoning.
Seven of the eight scheduled gigs, all of which were in the northern U.S., have been rescheduled to late May, with a date in Green Bay, Wis., shifted to November.
The 76-year-old folk legend entered the hospital with profound abdominal discomfort and dehydration, his publicist confirmed.
He was released March 13 and ordered to rest for two weeks.
The recovery period was perhaps prolonged by an unrelated abdominal surgery Lightfoot underwent in 2002.
