Reel Big Cancellation

Reel Big Fish won’t make tonight’s show because frontman Aaron Barrett is in the hospital. The ska punk band will also miss Friday’s performance.

According to an announcement from the band, the singer went to the hospital after not feeling well following Wednesday’s show in Norfolk, Va. His symptoms included a fever and discomfort.

Barrett will spend the night in a medical facility resting. Doctors are monitoring him following a procedure for an abscess caused by complications from a recent appendectomy.
