The artist once again known as Prince has cancelled two Hawai’i concerts planned for this week.
The shows were scheduled for Thursday at Pipeline Café on O’ahu, and Saturday at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center’s Castle Theater. They were cancelled just hours after tickets for the O’ahu show went on sale yesterday at 5 p.m.

Patrons hoping to purchase tickets to Prince’s Maui show, which were to go on sale at MACC this morning, were informed of the cancellation by box office management while waiting in line.

No official reason for the cancellation was issued by show promoter Goldenvoice this morning. Ticket buyers on Maui were told by MACC box office management that the musician cancelled the shows after falling ill following a concert in Brisbane, Australia.

MACC box office management did not return a call for comment.

Point-of-purchase refunds for the Pipeline Café show are being issued by Ticketmaster and Foodland locations where tickets were bought. Tickets purchased online or by phone from Ticketmaster will be automatically refunded. For more information, call Ticketmaster at (877) 750-4400

Too bad for everyone involved...I'm sure the Hawaii fans would have enjoyed the shows and they would have most likely been recorded by someone and we could all hear them too. I'm surprised the Australian shows haven't surfaced yet, or at least they aren't yet widely circulating.

Many many people are feeling a little depressed 2day...It was even on the evening news here...Hawaii loves Prince...
Aloha~

It's definately 2 bad. We don't get many quality concerts here on Oahu, and this would of been 1 of them! I've been 2 Prince's small venue concerts b4 when he had his club in South Beach, FL, and it was gr8. Hopefully we will get 2 see him soon! it's especially hard when u have the nickname "Prince" and everyone expected me 2 go

I hope he's okay!

I hope he ain't got SARS from his trip to Hong Kong!

ok bad taste joke!

I was concerned when I heard he wanted a electric wheel car.
I hope he is a OK

Poor guy! He absolutely performed his butt off in Sydney, that's all I can say. Has to catch up with him sooner or later. Imagine being up for all those hours and making yourself SO accessible to SO MANY fans and people.

Prince I hope you are ok.

PLEASE GET WELL SOON! WE LOVE YOU
