Elizondo Charlottesville Paramount Theatre Date Cancelled, Cited 'Medical Procedure'
The 30 April performance of Luis Elizondo's 'Persona Non Grata' tour at the Paramount Theatre in Charlottesville, Virginia was cancelled. Promoter Upfront Inc. and the venue cited a medical procedure as the reason. The cancellation followed the earlier scrapping of the 22 April Minneapolis opening night and the 23 April Milwaukee date, and is consistent with the ongoing recovery from Elizondo's 17 March motorcycle accident. The medical-procedure framing did not specify whether the procedure was related to the accident's injuries (which included rib cage fractures, a punctured lung, a severed spleen and a traumatic brain injury). The Charlottesville cancellation extended the run of dropped dates beyond the immediate opening week and reinforced the pattern of a tour stalled rather than launched. Refunds were issued automatically through Ticketmaster.
