The Chicks Postpone Los Angeles Concert Hours Before Showtime Due to Illness
The trio are currently wrapping their Taking the Long Way 20th anniversary tour.
Country music trio The Chicks have rescinded their scheduled concert in Los Angeles, occurring just hours before the doors were set to open. The announcement was made on Monday, November 2, and the show at Hollywood's Dolby Theatre has been rescheduled for Wednesday, November 4. All tickets bought beforehand will remain valid for the new date, and those unable to attend can request refunds from their original point of purchase, as stated by the band.
The postponed show marks the end of The Chicks' 20th anniversary tour, which revolved around their critically acclaimed album, "Taking the Long Way." Released in 2006, the album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and won five Grammy Awards, including album of the year. The single "Not Ready to Make Nice" reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The album and the band's subsequent tour revisited a turbulent period in 2003 when Natalie Maines criticized then-President George W. Bush and the Iraq War during a London concert, leading to backlash and boycotts. The group's anniversary tour brings them back to theaters and venues across the U.S., performing material from "Taking the Long Way" and songs from their entire discography.
