Ted Leo Update: The Tour Goes On
Phew. Turns out, all is (relatively) well with the family Leo, and that cancelled Pharmacists date in Cleveland earlier this week proved to be an exception and not the rule. Ted posted this brief update on his website yesterday:
Yo - the treatment went well yesterday, and though it will be ongoing for quite a while now, having gotten through this first round, we feel confident enough in how it'll go for the next week and a half, for me to go on with the tour for the next... week and a half. Tonight I'll be flying out to Chicago to meet the rest of the guys (who are driving from NJ today), and tomorrow, we will play.
Thank you for all of the kind words that you've been sending - they do not go unnoticed!

Indeed, that leaves a bit of uncertainty about the dates in September and beyond, but for now, anyway, Ted's over at Lollapalooza, where his set started approximately 10 minutes ago.
