The Chicks cancel multiple shows due to mystery illness

Country music trio The Chicks recently announced the cancellation of multiple performances due to a mystery illness. 

After sharing a series of updates on social media with their fans, The Chicks’ most recent post stated they had to reschedule another show and completely cancel a New York performance.

“Due to an ongoing illness, we regret that we must reschedule our show at Merriweather Post Pavilion and cancel our show at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts,” the country band said on Instagram.

Although the band promised refunds for their canceled show at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, several fans were not pleased with the announcement.

“We understand someone is sick but your not even gonna give us a rescheduled date for bethel woods??” one fan expressed. 

Another fan appeared upset about the rescheduled performances.

“I’ll be out of the country on the rescheduled date for Merriweather & I spent $500 on these tickets. This is so wrong!!!!!” a comment read. 

Others sympathized with the country music trio and sent them well wishes for a speedy recovery.

“I can’t imagine the toll that touring/performing takes on the mind and body. Please take care and feel better soon!”

The Chicks’ tour update comes after several postponed shows over the past five days. 

Scheduled performances in North Carolina and Tennessee have been pushed to later dates in August and September, also “due to illness.”

“We are so sorry for the inconvenience, but our priority is to put on a show you all deserve,” the country band said in part.

Last week, The Chicks first announced their show cancellation in Nashville. 

“Due to illness, The Chicks must regretfully postpone tonight’s show at Bridgestone Arena,” the group shared. 

“The Chicks are looking forward to seeing their Nashville fans soon and apologize for any inconveniences this may cause.”

Last year, the multiple platinum-selling female trio announced their return to the major touring circuit for the first time since 2017.

The 13-time Grammy-winning group shared at the time that The Chicks Tour would hit 27 North American locations and scheduled performances from June 2022 until October 2023. 

Formerly known as The Dixie Chicks, the band members are Natalie Maines, Martie Erwin Maguire and Emily Strayer.

In June 2020, The Chicks announced their name change due to the Black Lives Matter protests.

A statement on The Chicks’ website said, “We want to meet this moment.” The term Dixie refers to Southern U.S. states, especially those that belonged to the Confederacy.

The Chicks also released a song at the time titled “March March” from their comeback album “Gaslighter,” which features videos and images from Black Lives Matter rallies.

Video shows cars piled up after tornado hits Palm Beach Gardens, Florida

A video has emerged showing cars piled on top of each other after a tornado with estimated peak wind speeds of 130 mph ripped through South Florida. 

Footage taken in the parking lot of an apartment complex in Palm Beach Gardens Saturday depicted a car overturned with another propped up against it. 

“Oh my God. Look at this thing,” a person could be heard saying as locals were wandering around the area to survey the damage. 

The city of Palm Beach Gardens said there were reports of “roof damage, minor structural damage to buildings, a lot of trees down and a lot vehicle damage” in the wake of the EF-2 tornado.

“Fire Rescue states that no injuries were reported in our jurisdiction as a result of the storm, but they did assist with transports in nearby areas,” the city added, noting that “multiple roadways were blocked with debris and downed trees.” 

More than 11 million Florida residents had been placed under a tornado watch that covered most of the Florida Peninsula Saturday, according to FOX Weather. 

Another video taken of the tornado showed a car being lifted off the ground and thrown through the air while it was in the middle of a street. 

Palm Beach Gardens said it has activated its “Emergency Operations Center with personnel from Police, Fire and Public Works to address cleanup.”

“A cell merger that began between the turnpike and Interstate 95 in Palm Beach Gardens was able to take advantage of a favorable environment for tornadoes and spawn an EF-2 tornado,” the National Weather Service (NWS) had said in a report. 

“The tornado began just east of Interstate 95 and moved northeast across A1A, passing just south of the Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center,” it continued. “As it moved through the Sanctuary Cove Community it turned more north-northeasterly crossing PGA Blvd near the intersection with U.S. 1. 

“After a short trek up U.S. 1, the tornado dissipated before reaching Juno Beach,” the NWS statement concluded. 

The NWS also said that the tornado destroyed a dry-cleaning business, collapsed light poles and caused an electrical concrete pole to lean over. 

The tornado lasted 11 minutes and traveled nearly 3 miles before it dissipated, the NWS added. 

“The City Engineer and Building official continue to do structural damage assessments,” the City of Palm Beach Gardens said.
