CBS has canceled Tony Dokoupil's 10-city tour of the USA to celebrate him becoming the new host of Evening News, according to multiple reports on Saturday. The scrapped tour comes as Dokoupil will start hosting the program on Saturday evening two days earlier than was originally planned, Deadline reported. Dokoupil will make his hosting debut from San Francisco before going to New York City for his official launch on Monday, the outlet reported.
This week when I got home off the road, and went to have some tests done (like I usually do) and my voice and blood tests have raised some concerns. I have been ordered by my doctor to take a break from touring until the end of the year.
"I'm heartbroken to share, due to serious illness, I am unable to perform and very regrettably have to cancel our Stray Cats tour. I know this affects so many people and I am devastated to have to deliver this news. I've been trying everything I can to go on and do these shows, but it is just not possible. I've been looking forward so much to being on stage with my band mates again and playing for all of our amazing fans, and I'm gutted."
