The aging glam rocker announced on social media Friday that his spring 2020 North American tour, which was slated to run from March 31 through April 22, will be postponed until the fall.

Fans are encouraged to hold onto their tickets at this time.

“Due to the current concerns regarding COVID-19, the health and safety of our fans, local venue staffs, as well as the health and safety of our band and crew, is of utmost priority,” reads the post on Cooper’s official Facebook page.

“Information regarding previously purchased tickets and VIP packages will be available soon at Alicecooper.com; it is recommended that those who have tickets should retain them, as they may be valid for the re-scheduled shows.

“Let’s get through this together and resume rocking later in the year.”
