An announcement made by representatives of Donnie Iris revealed that shortly after his sold out 80th birthday show in March, it was discovered he had cancer. His team says he has the best care, and everyone is very optimistic for his full return to health. They add that he recently had surgery and his prognosis is good but as a result of his recovery, he will not be able to perform in Youngstown at The Foundation Amphitheater on June 21 with REO Speedwagon.
He is looking forward to resuming a regular schedule though, beginning July 24 at Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls with Foreigner and Loverboy.
