Thursday’s Earth, Wind & Fire concert in San Francisco was canceled due to a medical emergency involving a band member, according to officials.
According to a statement released by Chase Center, the show with Lionel Richie was postponed after an Earth, Wind & Fire band member had a medical emergency.
The city’s fire department said they received a medical call to Chase Center at around 5:30 p.m., and one person was transported to the hospital via private ambulance.
Chase Center and the band encourage fans to hold to their tickets since those will be honored for the new date, or “refunds will be available at the point of purchase.”
“Earth, Wind & Fire is unable to perform as scheduled tonight due to a medical emergency involving a member of their band,” the band wrote on social media. “As a result, tonight’s show with Lionel Richie will be rescheduled, with a new date to be announced soon. Ticket holders should retain their tickets, which will be honored for the new date, or refunds will be available at the point of purchase. We sincerely apologize for the unexpected change and appreciate everyone’s understanding.”
