The Canadian tour may have been postponed, but we can still enjoy some time with James. Join us tomorrow, Sunday March 22, at 2:00 pm ET / 11:00 am PT for “A Socially Distant Visit With James” on Facebook! Chat with James and spend some “virtual” quality time #AtHomeTogether.
Good news — James’s Audible Original audio memoir, Break Shot: My First 21 Years, is now available in Canada! Head to Audible.ca to download now, and click below for a clip of James discussing the project.
A song to lift our spirits during challenging times, “Secret O’ Life” first appeared on the 1977 album, JT. Be sure to check out #SongsOfComfort — the hashtag created and inspired by Yo-Yo Ma’s posting of Dvořák’s “Going Home”. Post your own, we are watching!
Following James’s statement, Live Nation Canada has made the following announcement:
LIVE NATION CANADA – PRESS ANNOUNCEMENT
Due to the unprecedented circumstances surrounding COVID-19, James Taylor & His All-Star Band with special guest Bonnie Raitt and her band have announced their Canadian Tour is being postponed. The tour will be rescheduled, and previously purchased tickets will be honored for all dates.
James Taylor shared, “I’ve had so many messages urging me to announce a decision regarding our upcoming Canadian tour. We were so looking forward to the tour, it breaks my heart to call it off. But that’s what we must do. All the medical information suggests that small and large gatherings may well put people at risk. That is the last thing we would ever want to do. I hope we can reschedule for the not-too-distant future.”
Fans are encouraged to hold on to their tickets until new dates are announced. Previously purchased tickets will be honoured on the new dates. Fans with questions regarding refunds are asked to reach out to their point of purchase.
More information will be released as it is available.
James here. I’ve had so many messages urging me to announce a decision regarding our upcoming Canadian tour. We were so looking forward to the tour, it breaks my heart to call it off. But that’s what we must do. All the medical information suggests that small and large gatherings may well put people at risk. That is the last thing we would ever want to do. I hope we can reschedule for the not-too-distant future. We will have an announcement tomorrow about how you can obtain a refund if you purchased a ticket to one of our Canadian concerts.
Thanks to you, Billboard announced today that American Standard has reached #4 on the Billboard Top 200 album charts, making James the first artist ever to land a top ten album in each of the last six decades!
