Tues Rock Rdup 815

The Rolling Stones canceled last night's show in Spain after Mick Jagger developed laryngitis over the weekend. Jagger said in a statement, "I am very sorry to be cancelling this show. I always love playing in Spain, but unfortunately I have no other choice and I apologize to everyone who bought tickets for tonight." The band's A Bigger Bang tour is set to continue tomorrow in El Ejido, Spain. The Stones had to postpone the start of the European leg of the tour after Keith fell out of that tree in Fiji in April.

Aerosmith will regroup next week in the Boston area to start rehearsing for their Route of All Evil Tour with Motley Crue.

Def Leppard and Journey have added a fall leg to their very successful co-headline tour. The fall leg kicks off October 11th in Fresno, California. The two groups start the second leg of the tour tonight in Morrison, Colorado. Sadly, they aren't announcing any new arms, though.

Lynyrd Skynyrd canceled a July 4th show in Maryland because of severe weather. The promoter only offered refunds until July 31st, which did not sit well with the band. Singer Johnny Van Zant says, "When we heard about this, we were all shocked. We have very loyal fans and are also loyal to them." So the band has arranged that all fans received full refunds. They also hope to reschedule a show in the area soon. Skynyrd is Silverton, Oregon tonight.

Alice Cooper will appear on the Late, Late Show With Craig Ferguson tomorrow night on C-B-S and again on Halloween (October 31st). Cooper performs in Anaheim, California tonight.
