With FireAid Benefit Tonight, Dave Matthews unfortunately has had to cancel due to a family emergency- and also canceled his MuiscCares appearance for tomorrow night too.
According to a post shared to the official Dave Matthews Band Instagram account, “due to a critical illness in the family,” Matthews is no longer able to perform at either event.
The MusiCares’ 2025 Persons of the Year benefit gala is to honor the Grateful Dead.
A representative for the band told The Associated Press there will be no further comment.
At FireAid, Matthews was scheduled to perform at the Kia Forum alongside John Mayer for the first time.
All proceeds from FireAid will benefit those affected by the fires. A 501(c)(3) was set up, and contributions to FireAid will be distributed under the Annenberg Foundation, which with FireAid has assembled a small committee to advise.
