Leonard Cohen's March 11 show at Winnipeg's MTS Centre has been re-scheduled to April 26, due to an outbreak of the flu among several band members.

Cohen's Los Angeles-based promoter made the announcement late Friday, saying Cohen "regretfully" made the rare decision to re-schedule the show out of concern for the health of his musicians.

All tickets for next Monday's performance will be honoured for the April concert, the MTS Centre said in a news release.

So sad to hear that band members are sick! I wish them all a speedy recovery & joyous return to the stage when they are fully recovered.

Hmm.. Gives new perspective on seeing Charley and Hattie sipping hot tea between songs Sunday in Oakland. Usually it's water or wine.

I seem to remember that Leonard performed in Dublin when he was under the weather after Glastonbury, and several other bands members push on while fighting the flu. Dino was under the weather at Sligo and was sipping tea throughout the concerts. Basically the "show goes on", unless the majority of the "show" are down with the flu. My thoughts are with them all, as I've just been going through this myself. :( Hope all are on the road to recovery.

Maybe this will help a speedy recovery for the band members with the flu.
Or fans with the flu, for that matter.
