Bad news this morning for anyone with a ticket to see Randy Newman next Monday evening as the two-time Academy Award winning crooner has been forced to cancel the show after coming down with a bout of pneumonia.

There aren't many further details to speak of, except to say that Aiken Promotions have indicated that full refunds will be available for ticket holders at their point of purchase and that Randy is "very sorry and hopes to be back soon."

Newman was inducted to the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame in April and has spent a large portion of his time since on the road.

All of us here in the office wish Randy the speediest of recoveries.
