According to a statement on The Monkees’ official Facebook page, Nesmith “had a minor health issue today in advance of his tour date…He visited a local medical facility and, although the issue was not serious, was advised to rest for the next week…Nesmith has been dismissed from the hospital and is traveling back to his home in Carmel Valley [California].”
The message also explains that Mike “is in good spirits and thanks all the fans for their support and understanding. He looks forward to getting back on the stage again soon.”
The other three postponed shows had been scheduled for this Friday at the Beacon Theatre in New York City; Saturday at The Paramount in Huntington, New York; and Monday at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Ban, New Jersey.
The Monkees Present: The Mike & Micky Show tour kicked off on June 1 in Chandler, Arizona, and marked the first time that Nesmith and Dolenz had hit the road together as a duo. The Monkees members had been showcasing a set featuring a mix of hits and songs that rarely or never had been played live before.
