Just got word that the July 22 Cinderella show at Pier Six Pavilion has been cancelled.

Live Nation just sent out an e-mail announcement that Cinderella’s Tom Keifer’s left vocal cord has hemorrhaged.

“Tom felt his throat give way last night (6/11) finishing the set in pre-production rehearsals, went to his vocal doctor (Dr. Stephen Mitchell) in Nashville this morning, and was told the grim news. In the short term, Tom’s doctor told him it would be two to three weeks before the swelling and damage would recede to a point to where an assessment can be made as to whether surgery will be required.

Consequently, and again, most regretfully, we have no choice but to postpone the upcoming Cinderella tour until such time as Tom is ready tour again.”

The show, billed as the 98 Rock Hairball, was also to feature Warrant. No word yet on refunds.
