Dave Matthews withdraws from concerts due to family health crisis

Dave Matthews has canceled his performances at the FireAid and MusiCares benefit concerts due to a critical illness in his family, as confirmed by a post on the Dave Matthews Band's Instagram. Matthews was set to perform alongside John Mayer at FireAid, who expressed his support for Matthews in a heartfelt message on social media. The benefits aim to assist in the relief efforts following the recent fires in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, fellow Australian musician Daryl Braithwaite has also been forced to cancel his scheduled shows in Sydney due to a medical condition affecting his voice, prompting an outpouring of support from fans. Braithwaite's Cronulla gig has not yet been rescheduled, while his Torquay performance is set for February 14. Both artists are currently receiving well-wishes from their respective fanbases as they navigate their health challenges.
