Goo Goo Dolls lead singer John Rzeznik was hospitalized with pneumonia and canceled a series of concerts in South Africa.
Wearing a blue medical gown and black Herschel hat, the “Slide” singer apologized to fans for having to postpone the shows in a video captured from what appeared to be his room in a hospital.
The popular ’90s rock band was scheduled to perform in South Africa from Dec. 4-7.
“Hey everybody, it’s John from the Goo Goo Dolls,” Rzeznik said from his bed in the video posted to social media. “I’m truly sorry that I cannot be there, but I wound up going to a doctor, and I have pneumonia. And they checked me into a hospital. And I’m stuck here for a day or two.
“We’re working on getting back down there as fast as we can, and I will keep you informed about that. I’m just really sorry that we couldn’t do this. I apologize that this happened. We’ll come down there, we’ll make it up to you guys.”
“Thanks for being patient.”
