Ezra had canceled a show the day before in San Francisco, as well as shows in Portland and Seattle before.
He said in his Twitter statement he would be taking the next few days to rest, so he’ll be ready to play Coachella’s second weekend. Currently, he has shows scheduled in Sacramento, Calif., on Sunday, Solana Beach, Calif., on Tuesday and Phoenix on Thursday before returning to Indio. According to his rep, no other shows have been canceled at this time.
