Hi everyone. Want to apologize to all my friends and fans who bought tickets to my shows last week in Seattle. Portland. Eugene. And now this weekend in San Fran, Humboldt, Winters and Fresno. I am in hospital with cellulitis. Very painful skin infection. My arms are gigantic and hurt so much. Poor Laura has had to do everything including taking me to bathroom - texting. She even fed me soup like a loving mom. I cant do anything. Its been so hard on my band and all the promoters in every town we were slated to play. Last week I was told not to travel by my doctor and was released from hospital Saturday. A few days went by and I was fine and ready to rock! Then I woke up this morning w high fever and hands so swollen and painful; I couldnt even hold a cup or move the sheets in my bed. Feeling a bit better now but this has been so hard. Everyone losing money, especially me. I had booked flights, hotels on Priceline and cant get a refund. I am so sorry to let anyone down. My agent Lori Haynes has worked tirelessly to book us and Im so sad this happened. Cellulitis is NOT cancer related. I will be back to work in no time and will make up these shows and prevail. I will NOT let any stupid illness stop me. I may be losing money but once again, I am surrounded by the love of my family and closest friends. I will be back up and ROCKING as soon as I can. I ask the promoters to please forgive me and I want you all to know, I am not a quitter. I have a good track record and have rarely had to cancel any shows. PLEASE pray for me to the deity of your choice. I am getting better as I type this from my hospital bed at UCSD. Please dont visit me without calling first. I dont want anyone to see me this way. I feel awful but am buoyed by the love of my sons, Evan and Tommy and by my adopted daughter Laura and other awesome friends. I am down right now but I am not out. This is just a dumb infection that anyone could catch. I ask for your understanding, compassion and trust. If it were at all possible, I would be making music this weekend. There are some other big storms coming to the west and east coasts so maybe this situation will be a blessing after all! Driving in snow, fog and rain is dangerous work but I wish I were out there in the rain, on my way to the gig. Be safe everyone and stay strong. I AM! Sign me - BROKE but NOT BROKEN in La Jolla.
