has
canceled
three
months
of
concerts

being
hospitalized
with
a
“serious
infection.”
A
message
shared
via the
78-year-old
rocker’s
official
Facebook
page
(which
you
can
read
below)
noted
that
the
condition
“developed
quickly.”
“The
entire
Dave
Mason
family,
band,
and
crew
deeply
appreciate
your
love
and
prayers
during
this
time,”
the
post
continued.
“Tickets
for
all
March,
April
and
May
shows
will
be
refunded
at
the
point
of
purchase.
We’re
all
hoping
for
a
swift
recovery!”
Mason’s
Let
It
Flow
tour
had
been
slated
to
start
on
March
20
in
Augusta,
Georgia.
Additionally,
the
rocker
already
had
a
month-long
break
scheduled
for
June.
A
July
11
performance
in
Kansas
City
currently
stands
as
his
expected
return
to
the
stage,
though
the
situation
will
depend
on
his
recovery
and
continued
health.
He

has
a
handful
of
dates
with
Kansas and
38
