Owl City cancels select appearences with Maroon 5

Due to medical emergency, OWL CITY must cancel his previously scheduled performances supporting Maroon 5 in Toronto, ON, Detroit, MI and Canandaigua, NY. 


Our sincere apologies to those who this may effect. Full refunds will be offered at the point of purchase, or at the venue up until 6:00 PM on the day of the show. See below for a full statement from Adam Young.


Hey friends,


I hope your August is off to a great start. It's hard to believe all the expired food in my fridge hasn't assembled a guerrilla military, declared war, and gone trooping through the house on a mission. I am also amazed at how the neighbor's obtuse dog can run laps around my house all day and never get tired. Perhaps I should start drinking from the garden hose too.


It pains me deeply, but I wanted to prop myself up long enough to type out a few words that may semi-eloquently explain why I've been forced to make a truly heartbreaking decision.


Right now I'm sitting on my Mom's futon in an unbelievable amount of pain. I have a kidney stone. The doc keeps telling me to pound the liquids and I keep writhing around on the floor in excruciating pain like a wuss. I'm not really getting anywhere but I'm determined to pass this rock and hit the thing so far out of the park, it'll make Mark McGwire blush with envy.


Having been in and out of the emergency room all week, adding a heavy layer of grief upon the agony, I am terribly sorry to say that I must drop out of the first three shows (Toronto, ON - Detroit, MI - Canandaigua, NY) on the Maroon 5 tour. Needless to say, the timing is an utter disaster, and although the cause of tragedy is far beyond human control, please know I am tremendously sorry for the ill-timed misfortune.


However, despite the tremendous hurdle, there is still great news...


I'll be returning to the three cancelled cities as soon as time possibly allows, and for those shows, I truly could not be more excited. Thank you so very much for your willingness to understand.


See you soon,

Adam
