The Meters Cancel Upcoming Shows Due To Art Neville’s Illness

The Meters have cancelled at least two upcoming concerts, according to breaking news shared by George Porter, Jr. Due to what he describes as only “illness,” Art Neville is undergoing a “medical evaluation” in New Orleans and will therefore be unable to travel to San Francisco for performances on August 25 and 26.

“It’s a very, very tough decision to cancel any shows, but without Art, these shows would not be The Meters,” wrote the group’s bassist and singer. No further details were available as of press time.

OffBeat sends Mr. Neville a wish for a very speedy recovery.
