Widespread Panic guitarist Jimmy Herring diagnosed with rare tonsil cancer days away from hometown tour
The Athens, Georgia-based musical ensemble made the announcement on its Instagram page Monday.
A statement under the post noted that the band's shows at the 'ExploreAsheville.com Arena at Harrah's Cherokee Center Asheville on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, 7/25, 7/26, and 7/27' have been canceled, with refunds to 'be issued automatically at the point of purchase.' 'His formidable technique is in service of a vast harmonic and rhythmic imagination, forged by decades on the road and a myriad of influences spanning jazz, rock, country, and the outer limits of improvised music,' the bio reads of Herring's artistry. Following the canceled shows, Widespread Panic is slated to play a trio of concerts at Boston's MGM Music Hall at Fenway Park from August 22-24, and in Las Vegas at The Theater at Virgin Hotels from September 20-22.
