Dear Friends,

The Widespread Panic Family is sad to report that our Brother, Jimmy Herring, has been diagnosed with stage 1 tonsil cancer. He will begin treatment immediately and is expected to make a full recovery. That part we’re happy to report.

The Band will not be playing the upcoming Asheville dates. We will have a clearer picture of our future concert schedule in the next few days.

We thank everyone for their concern and Blessings as Jimmy and his Family go through this healing process.

Let the Healing begin.

The hits just keep on coming. I hope it's a smooth recovery. Tonsil, bummer.
