Boom Crash Opera regret to announce the cancellation of our remaining live performances for the rest of the year, as Dale Ryder must undergo open-heart surgery (quadruple bypass).
As audiences on the recent Red Hot Summer tour can attest, Dale is an incredibly lively and energetic performer. Behind the scenes, however, he has been experiencing symptoms that require immediate medical attention.
We are all immensely disappointed that we cannot fulfil these upcoming shows, but Dale’s health is our absolute priority. We want to thank everyone for their understanding, and we look forward to returning to the stage in 2027 with a fire in our bellies.
Dale appreciates everyone’s concern but has requested people refrain from contacting him directly while he focuses on his recovery and his family.
