Bacharach cancels NZ concerts

Composer and performer Burt Bacharach has cancelled two New Zealand shows later this year due to a back problem which has not yet fully healed.

The two shows at Christchurch and Auckland shows which were scheduled for November had already been rescheduled from March due to the injury for which Bacharach underwent surgery over Christmas.

The dates would be rescheduled as soon as his doctors gave the all clear, tour organisers said.

Those who had tickets to his Auckland and Christchurch concerts should contact their ticketing agents immediately for a full refund, they said.
