James Taylor postpones tour, Dickies Arena stop on May 18 due to coronavirus pandemic

Iconic singer James Taylor postponed his United States tour, which included a May 18 stop at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, because of coronavirus.

Taylor, who was scheduled to be in Fort Worth with Jackson Browne, promised they would reschedule the tour.

“As this summer’s tour of 27 towns and cities across the US drew near, we’ve been increasingly excited to hit the road again,” Taylor and Browne said in a statement released Friday. “So it’s deeply disappointing for both of us to have to call it off and reschedule (and reschedule we WILL)! As we all now realize, COVID-19 is a serious , real and present danger.”

The rescheduling of all dates, which could be late summer, all depends on the advice of health officials.

Previously purchased tickets will be honored for all new dates and fans are encouraged to hold onto their tickets.

If anyone has questions, officials are asking fans to contact the outlet where tickets were purchased.

“So let us listen to and follow the directions of our public healthcare people and support their efforts in this unprecedented time of global pandemic,” Browne and Taylor said. “Love those around you, and above all, stay safe and healthy.”
