MICHAEL FRANTI & SPEARHEAD CANCEL FESTIVAL GIG
Hip-hop/reggae act MICHAEL FRANTI & SPEARHEAD were forced to cancel their headline performance at a music festival in California this weekend (25-26Jul09) after the frontman was admitted to hospital for emergency surgery.
Franti’s group was due to perform at the Wanderlust Festival in Lake Tahoe, California on Saturday night (July 25).
But the band had to scrap the gig after Franti was taken ill on Thursday (23Jul09). He was admitted to hospital for an operation to remove a ruptured appendix and is now said to be recovering well following the surgery.
Rapper Common replaced the group as Saturday night’s headline act.
