It looks like Keith is bypassing Mid-America. Too bad for us here.

Message from Keith:

CANCELLATION OF THE HOUSE OF BLUES - SUNSET BLVD CONCERT

For those of you who had
purchased tickets for the concert at the House of Blues Hollywood on
May 7th, that is now marked as cancelled on the HOB website, I'd like
to inform you that the date/concert was never confirmed. It has been
our decision to consolidate shows in Los Angeles area to one show, and
we are still playing at
The Canyon Club (Agoura Hills, near Woodland Hills) on May 8th. We apologize for any inconveniences this has caused those of you who purchased tickets from
House of Blues. Please
contact them for obtaining refunds.

We hope you can come to our
Canyon Club show on May 8th. You can purchase the ticket from
Ticketmaster.

Keith

There's a very good rumor going round today that says that Keith Emerson will be cancelling his entire US and European tour.  Seems he's having more problems with the nerves in his right hand and will be needing either surgery or therapy.

This was also mentioned today on Marc Bonilla's myspace page... so looks pretty definite.

It's no longer a rumor, but official. Keith has canceled the rest of the US tour.

This is a huge disappointment as my band, Days Before Tomorrow, was opening for him at the Starland Ballroom show, but AEG just contacted us this morning to confirm the cancellation of the remaining US tour.

This is too bad. I wish him all the best. I'd like to see him once more before he retires.

This just in from Keith's website.  I think you'll find the part mentioning ELP very interesting....

IMPORTANT - TOUR CANCELLATION NOTICE

Dear Friends,

It is with much regret that I have to announce that due to past right hand injuries the resulting nerve damage and dystonic factor has made it unable for me to play the keyboards to the high standard I have always set myself and have to cancel my forthcoming Keith Emerson Band featuring Marc Bonilla USA  and European tours.    

I am also going to have to cancel the proposed Emerson, Lake and Palmer tour which we were going to do at the end of this year.

I will of course continue with my physical/chiropractic/acupuncture therapy etc. in the hope that this will eventually get me back on form.

This is absolutely devastating to me as music will always be my main key to communicating with a world-wide audience. I know how much my fans and fellow band members were looking forward to these shows and it saddens me greatly to have to come to this decision and make this announcement.


Thank you for your understanding.

Keith Emerson

I'm  really lost about this notice! It's so sad
This another problem on his right hand is terrible. I'm not doctor but to him recovery all moviments on form will be difficult. Probabily a new surgery would be necessary added to physiotherapy.
 
My friends it's more serious than we are thinking. You can be right!
 
We have to pray and ask for God recovery him!
 
Once more i say...It's sad...very sadConfusedCry 
Greetings and great vibrations for All!
...from Duncan!

It's a very sad thing when a world-class musician suffers a loss, even a partial one, of their musical ability. Best wishes to KE for a speedy recovery.

Lets hope he recovers , not just for playing in gigs but because it would be really sad if a legend as he is retires like this.

Nobody has written here about this...
Emerson's mother died  on May 7th 2009.
 
I can imagine as should be difficult this moment for him, beyond problems with health.
Let's send good vibrations to him!
