In The News: Creed Tour, Weather Cancels Foos & Russell Retires
JULY 17th
Following cruise appearances, Creed kicked off the “Summer Of ’99,” its first tour in 12 years. The band’s 16-song set at the Resch Center in Green Bay, WI, included seven songs off the band’s diamond-certified second album, ’99’s “Human Clay.”
Foo Fighters were forced to cut short their concert at Citi Field in Queens, New York, due to severe weather in the area. “When it was determined that there was no safe way to continue the show in this dangerous weather, we had no choice but to call it a night,” explained frontman Dave Grohl (pictured).
Former Great White singer Jack Russell announced his retirement from touring following a recent diagnosis of Lewy body dementia (LBD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA). “I am unable to perform at the level I desire and at the level you (the audience) deserve,” Russell stated.
