Pat Benatar Cancels Denver Concert

Pat Benatar's concert, scheduled for Wednesday, August 19th at the Paramount Theatre in Denver, has been cancelled. The cancellation comes as the result of a recent eye injury suffered by her husband and longtime guitarist, Neil "Spyder" Giraldo.

Here's the official statement from BenatarGiraldo.com.

"Dear Ones,

It has been a crazy week ……Spyder’s eye injury was unexpected and terrifying.Thanking God and the Universe that he was able to have surgery immediately and save his eye. He is healing nicely and expected to make a full recovery! Unfortunately, not soon enough for us to continue the tour. He is unable to fly, exert himself or engage in any activity that could compromise the healing process. So with heavy hearts, we will have to cancel the scheduled dates, through Alaska. We know this is such a huge disappointment for everyone, us included. We were having a blast out there, celebrating our milestone anniversary with all of you! Ya’ll were there every night….singing your hearts out, rockin’ like crazy! We thank you for your never ending enthusiasm and dedication…..you are the BEST! We hope you understand that we must do this, to ensure Spyder’s good health for the future. We hope to be out there performing for ya’ll for many years to come! We’ll keep you posted on his progress and any updates regarding future performances.Thank you for your good wishes and your continued patience and support."
