Beatles alum and current rock frontman Ringo Star has abruptly canceled the final two dates on his band's nationwide tour after "coming down with a cold," Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band announced Tuesday.
"Today Ringo Starr and his All Starr Band announced that unfortunately they have to cancel their upcoming last two shows including tonight’s performance at TD Pavilion at The Mann in Philadelphia, PA and tomorrow at Radio City Music Hall in New York City due to illness," a post on the band's Instagram said "Ringo has come down with a cold and after consulting a doctor he was advised to cancel these two remaining shows and get rest," it continued.

Canceled shows won't be rescheduled
The planned Tuesday, Sept. 24 concert at TD Pavilion at The Mann in Philadelphia, PA and the Wednesday, Sept. 25 date at Radio City Music in New York City will not be rescheduled, said the announcement. Instead, ticket holders will be notified via email and automatically refunded.
Ring, 84, embarked on the 12-stop tour starting in San Diego, CA on Sept. 7, accompanied by bandmates Steve Lukather, Colin Hay, Warren Ham, Hamish Stuart, Gregg Bissonette and Buck Johnson. "As always, Ringo and the All Starrs send peace and love to their fans and hope to see them soon," said the band's post.
Fans react to shows being canceled
Fans and commenters were overwhelmingly supportive, though some expressed disappointment that Tuesday's show was canceled just hours before doors.
"PLEASE reschedule I’m not waiting another bazillion years for another tour," begged one fan. "Reschedule please, I been dying to see you," said another.
"I’m sad we don’t get to see him tonight, but first and foremost, we just want him to be healthy and happy! Get well soon, Ringo," said one well-liked comment, along with another reading "I’m so disappointed but your health comes first. Will always love you."
Starr has been touring with a rotating roster of All Starr band members since 1989 and released a new EP called "Crooked Boy" in April of this year.
