Glass Tiger performance at Peterborough Musicfest rescheduled to Aug. 17

Peterborough Musicfest says a show by Canadian rockers Glass Tiger set for Wednesday has been postponed by over a week.

On Tuesday morning, organizers announced that Alan Frew, lead singer of the band, is ill and unable to perform for the Aug. 9 outdoor show at Del Crary Park in the city’s downtown.

Instead, the show will be rescheduled for Thursday, Aug. 17. Showtime is 8 p.m.

“We wish Alan a speedy recovery and look forward to having Glass Tiger on stage with us next Thursday,” Musicfest stated.

On his Instagram account, Frew on Monday reported he had a swollen and sore throat and that his “voice is gone.” As a result, he postponed a show scheduled in Prince Edward Island.

“Those who know me, KNOW how this kills me,” he wrote. “The pressure of the singer is unbearable at times because everything rests on those two tiny cords within the throat and mine are not doing well today.”
