Cat Power Show Cancelled!

I just got the very sad news that the Cat Power show at the Gibson Lounge has been cancelled. Here is the offical word:

Due to health concerns, Chan has been advised not to tour and all of the currently scheduled dates have been cancelled. If you have purchased advance tickets, Musictoday will be refunding your money this week. At this time there are no plans to reschedule any show dates. If we are able to book a future CAT POWER show at The Lounge, we will post information on our website immediately. Our thoughts are with Chan at this time, and we hope to see her back on tour soon.
