The show must go on…until it can’t.

Each year, our favorite musicians announce massive treks around the globe, as fans rush to get ticket to see their favorite superstars live on stage. However, those plans don’t always work out in the end.

For one reason or another, some spectacles simply never hit the stage. Or, if they do, they get cut short due to a variety of different issues along the way, especially in this pandemic era with high costs for testing, travel, limited venue booking and frequent illnesses.

We’ve rounded up all the tours of 2023 that got scrapped (so far), as well as the reasons why. We are wishing the best to all the artists – and their eager fans! – as they hopefully reschedule and hit the road again very soon.

Canadian folk musician Gordon Lightfoot has sadly passed away at age 84.

The singer-songwriter rose to prominence in the 60s and 70s with hits like “Early Morning Rain” and “If You Could Read My Mind.”

“It is with profound sadness that we confirm that Gordon Meredith Lightfoot has passed away,” his website’s statement reads.

“Gordon died peacefully on Monday, May 1, 2023 at 730 p.m. at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto. He died of natural causes. He was 84 years old. He is survived by his wife Kim Hasse, six children– Fred, Ingrid, Eric, Galen, Miles and Meredith, as well as several grandchildren.”

Gordon made his first appearance in the US Billboard chart in 1971, when “If You Could Read My Mind” reached number five. He received five Grammy nominations during his career.

Gordon was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1986.

“We have lost one of our greatest singer-songwriters,” Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wrote on Twitter. “Gordon Lightfoot captured our country’s spirit in his music – and in doing so, he helped shape Canada’s soundscape. May his music continue to inspire future generations, and may his legacy live on forever.”

Our thoughts are with Gordon Lightfoot‘s loved ones at this difficult time.

We have sadly lost many beloved stars already in 2023.
