(Ray) Price Concert Cancelled For Health Reasons
From the Yankton (SD) Daily Press and Dakotan
Ray Price, who was scheduled to perform two concerts at the Dakota Theatre on Oct. 16, suffered a heart attack Friday that required a surgical procedure. Price will take the next three weeks off of his tour schedule to recuperate. Price is rescheduling many of his cancelled shows, but due to scheduling conflicts the Yankton shows will not be rescheduled.
"Price did not have to have heart surgery. After doing a cardiogram, doctors found that there was 1 1/2 inches of blockage to the hearts main artery, but they quickly opened the clogged artery with a balloon and a stint," said Price's publicist Kirt Webster. "Doctors are optimistic that they fully took care of the problem and that Price will soon be fully recovered."
