The 3 Guitar Heroes tour announced in July, which includes an Oct. 26 performance at The Pabst Theater, has been postponed.
The tour was to feature guitarists Michael Schenker, Uli Jon Roth and Leslie West, but all the dates have been postponed, due to " insurmountable travel issues" and "transportation complications" involved West.
According to a statement today from the tour publicist:
"When faced with securing a viable path for West's travel while still confined to a wheelchair, the search for a vehicle went on for months, and it has been called off. Last week, West was fitted with a prosthetic leg, but it will take months before he is able to live a normal life with the appendage, and there is no way to tour at this time without the security of the wheelchair he has been confined to post-amputation."
The statement added that, "plans are moving forward to explore restaging this tour in the New Year."
In a statement, The Pabst Theater staff said a new date will be announced soon. Tickets for the Oct. 26 date will be valid for the new date.
