LONDON, UK (David Bowie Official Website) - David Bowie canceled his planned performance Friday at Denmark's annual Roskilde Festival, one of Europe's biggest outdoor rock events. According to a festival statement, Bowie's physician had said his "condition doesn't enable him to carry through the planned concert." No other details were available. A statement on Bowie's official website told fans the 57-year-old had "very reluctantly" accepted doctors' advice not to play. The statement said: "Due to the continuing pain and extreme discomfort from a trapped/pinched nerve in his shoulder and to prevent possible further injury, David Bowie has been advised by his doctors to cancel his performances at the 11 remaining European dates throughout July. Anybody that knows David will understand that he doesn't take these decisions lightly and I'm sure you all realise how bad he will be feeling about not being able to complete the tour." So, David Bowie will rescheduled his tour dates for France, Belgium, Ireland, Spain and Switzerland. Last week, Bowie cut short a concert in Prague because of pain in his shoulder.
