Goo Goo Dolls frontman John Rzeznik was hospitalized with pneumonia, and the '90s rock band postponed a string of concerts in South Africa on doctor's orders.
Goo Goo Dolls lead singer John Rzeznik was hospitalized with pneumonia and canceled a series of concerts in South Africa. Wearing a blue medical gown and black Herschel hat, the 'Slide' singer apologized to fans for having to postpone the shows in a video captured from what appeared to be his room in a hospital. The popular '90s rock band was scheduled to perform in South Africa from Dec. 4-7.
Hey everybody, it's John from the Goo Goo Dolls,' Rzeznik said from his bed in the video posted to social media. 'I'm truly sorry that I cannot be there, but I wound up going to a doctor, and I have pneumonia. And they checked me into a hospital. And I'm stuck here for a day or two. 'We're working on getting back down there as fast as we can, and I will keep you informed about that. I'm just really sorry that we couldn't do this.
Following his video message, updated tour dates flashed across the screen for the end of March. On Instagram, the band posted, 'We’re heartbroken to postpone our South Africa shows. This country means so much to us, and we were so excited to create more memories with you. Sadly, my doctor has advised rest and recovery.
