Guess it doesn't matter if my back's better or not by Friday. The show's been cancelled. Yikes, this does not sound good:

JONATHAN RICHMAN POSTPONES TOUR
We have been advised that Jonathan Richman has been forced to cancel his current North American dates from June 13 to July 3 as a result of tragic personal circumstances. This includes the show scheduled for Zaphod Beeblebrox this Friday, June 18.

It appears that the tour may be rescheduled to November, but in the meantime we are advising Zaphod's ticketholders to return to the original point of purchase for refunds.

We know that this is disappointing for Jonathan and his fans. However, Jonathan personally called Eugene today and offered his apologies. He asks that his fans understand that the circumstances of this cancellation are truly due to very tragic circumstances which he must attend to immediately.

We hope to be able to announce a rescheduled date as soon as things are cleared up, however, in the meantime, we apologize on behalf of Zaphod's and Jonathan.
