Troubled Tours

Monday, September 24, 2007

Amy Winehouse, The White Stripes, and several other high-profile musicians have been canceling concert tours this fall. Today, Gary Bongiovanni, editor of the concert trade publication Pollstar, explains why cancellations occur and how concert presenters cope with them. We also speak with singer Nick Luca who ended up in the Emergency Room while on tour with John Doe (X), the result of undetected diabetes.
