From the British Invasion 2014 Tour Facebook page run by Andrew Sandoval:
We are sad to announce that word reached us today from Europe that Gerry Marsden has taken seriously ill and that his doctor has barred him from any travel until he recovers. As a result, he will unfortunately have to miss the upcoming British Invasion Tour dates. We ask for your support and good thoughts towards his healthy recovery. "It is with deep regret that Gerry has had to withdraw from the British Invasion US Tour due to a sudden illness,” said Marsden’s spokesman today. “Gerry is extremely sad to be letting his fans down; however he hopes the tour is a great success and wishes his fellow artists a happy and wonderful tour."
All ten of the dates will go ahead as scheduled with Denny Laine, Billy J. Kramer, Chad & Jeremy, Mike Pender's Searchers and added guest, Terry Sylvester (of the Hollies, Swinging Blue Jeans and Escorts). They promise a stellar night of beat music and sonic surprises. Peter Asher will also join the tour as a guest at The Ridgefield Playhouse and Saban Theatre. Other dates include The Wellmont Theater, Sands Bethlehem Event Center, The Keswick Theatre, Harrah's Resort Southern California, Mountain Winery Concerts, The Palace Theatre and NYCB Theatre at Westbury.
Wishing Gerry Marsden well and a quick recovery.

I wish him well. He as a guest at the Beatlefest years ago an was one of the most interesting and engaging people I saw there over the years that I went. He comes across as a truly nice man.
