Fans who were planning to attend the concert, some driving from Canada and others traveling from the U.K. responded to the news with relative understanding.
"Feel badly for the folks who traveled and booked flights and rooms. I'm sure Bruce will MORE THAN make up for it," posted one person on Twitter.
"Just hope it's a quick recovery and those with tickets get to see him again when it's rescheduled," said another.
It's a shame for all of the people that travelled. But unfortunately, it can happen. Just hope it's a quick recovery and those with tickets will get to see him again when it's rescheduled.
