Huey Lewis cancels 2018 concerts
WEST ALLIS -- Huey Lewis and The News announced on Friday, April 13 that all of its 2018 performances have been canceled as he gets treatment for severe hearing loss that has left him unable to hear music well enough to sing. That includes an August 4 concert a the Wisconsin State Fair.
Lewis said he is working on getting treatment for his condition, which he developed two and half months ago after a show in Dallas, Lewis posted on the group's Facebook page. His doctors have agreed he can't perform again until his condition improves.
Here is the full statement from Lewis:
Meniere's disease is an inner ear disorder sometimes caused by lack of fluid drainage, infection, migraines, head trauma or allergies, according to the Mayo Clinic.
The illness can cause vertigo, hearing loss, a ringing in the ear or a feeling of pressure. It's considered a chronic condition, but there are treatments to relieve symptoms.
