Some disappointing news for Down Under fans (myself included).
Burt's forthcoming dates in Sydney have been postponed. And it looks like he can't do NZ now, but Dionne Warwick has stepped in and will do shows there instead.
According to the NZSO website, he has broken his collarbone - most unpleasant.
I was told by someone from the Sydney Symphony that he's very disappointed not to be able to come over.
Let's hope he recovers okay.
