Rowland S. Howard has canceled his upcoming Northcote Social Club show due to a “serious illness”.
A press release stated that he hopes to reschedule the show for some time in the new year, and that “Rowland has asked that apologies be extended to fans who have already bought [tickets] or who were intending to come along to the show.”In an interview with Rolling Stone Magazine this month, Howard admitted that he had liver cancer, and was awaiting a transplant. He told the magazine, "If you're trying to write about the human condition there is only so many things you can choose from. Being told that you've only got a couple of years to live without a transplant is a pretty frightening experience and certainly changes the way you feel about your life, [it] makes things so much closer."
Earlier this month he had cancelled his appearance at Sydney’s Homebake festival after receiving “medical advice”.
We wish Howard all the best and look forward to seeing him on stage again in the near future.
