Jerry Lee Lewis, the now 74 year old rock legend, has postponed a European summer tour due to an illness. The tour's promoter expects the dates to be rescheduled for sometime this November.
"Jerry is suffering from shingles, very painful and it (also causes) problems with his heart," said a statement issued by tour promoter Diba Inernational Concerts. According to the statement released, Jerry Lee Lewis underwent a three hour surgical procedure in Memphis last week, "and his doctors have advised him not to do the tour at this moment. They have told him that everything will be fine again in one month." Details about Lewis' surgery were not revealed.
