From: Deep South Entertainment – Stryper Management

STRYPER has postponed their concerts scheduled for tonight Wednesday November 4 (Dallas – House of Blues) and Thursday November 5 (Houston – House of Blues) due to artist illness.

The rescheduled dates are December 21 (Houston – House of Blues) and December 22 (Dallas – House of Blues).

Singer / Songwriter Michael Sweet explains, “I’ve come down with a horrible case of the flu and now it seems to be spreading throughout the bus.

I see reports all over the nation where bad cases of the flu are hitting America and had hoped we could make it through this entire tour without it affecting us, but unfortunately it has. It’s really bad and I wish our friends and fans all the best with their health during this season. I have seen a doctor and am on medication and anticipate a speedy recovery. My sincerest apologies to all the fans for this inconvenience but I look forward to seeing you all in December when we return. Just for these two shows we will be putting together a special Christmas segment of the show. It’ll be great to spend the holidays with our friends and fans in Dallas and Houston.”

The rescheduled shows will include a special Christmas segment and will include the fan favorite ‘Reason for the Season’, never before performed live at a Stryper show.

Tickets purchased for each concert will be honored on the rescheduled dates.

Fan meet and greet purchases will also be honored on the rescheduled dates.
