Prior to the announcement, Starr canceled his show in Michigan just a few hours before it was scheduled to begin. His team stated that Starr could not perform because his voice was affected by an undisclosed illness, as per Variety‘s report last Sunday, Oct. 2.

While Starr’s team has yet to provide details on the rescheduled dates, the All Starr show will apparently resume on Oct. 11 based on the tour dates posted on Starr’s website.
