In a Jan. 5 Facebook post, Bolton, 70, provided an update for his fans.

“For the next couple of months, I will be devoting my time and energy to my recovery which means I’ll have to take a temporary break from touring. It is always the hardest thing for me to ever disappoint my fans or postpone a show, but have no doubt I am working hard to accelerate my recovery and get back to performing soon.”

If you are a current ticket holder for this year’s gala, you have two options:

  • Request a full refund back to your original form of payment.
  • Donate the ticket cost back to the Kettering Health Foundation.
