WHAT: The Kinks' Legendary Frontman Ray Davies is unable to perform for scheduled concert at the Kimmel Center due to health concern. His doctors advised him not to fly or travel until his medical condition has been treated. His Kimmel Center concert is not being rescheduled.

Larry Magid Entertainment released below statement:

"Ray personally did not want to cancel this tour but was ordered by his doctors not to fly or travel until his medical condition has stabilized to their satisfaction. At this moment, his doctors could not provide a time frame as to when he could travel to the U.S. and advised him to cancel his tour dates."
All ticket buyers will be automatically refunded the price of their tickets (including any applicable ticketing fees). Refunds will be processed beginning Monday, November 29, 2010. Tickets purchased with cash must be returned directly to the Kimmel Center Box Office for a refund. (The box office is open daily from 10am to 6pm, later on performance evenings.) Ticket buyers should contact patronservices@ticketphiladelphia.org with any questions.

Ray Davies was lead frontman and songwriter of legendary London-based rock group, The Kinks, from 1964 to 1996, producing mid 1960's gems like "You Really Got Me," "All Day and All of the Night," and "I Need You" to more sensitive, thought-provoking works, such as, "Waterloo Sunset." The Kinks disbanded in 1996, and since then Davies has toured independently. He has released five solo albums, including the recent 2010 album release, See My Friends. On October 26, 2010, Davies was presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the AVO Session in Switzerland. Davies and The Kinks were the third British band to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990, when Davies was described as "almost indisputably rocks' most literate, witty and insightful songwriter."
