This legendary actor was coming to Boise. ‘Unfortunately,’ concert now canceled
In June, plenty of Boiseans were stoked to hear about a co-headlining concert featuring a comedy legend on vocals.
Less than four weeks later? They’re singing the blues.
A three-show run featuring Bill Murray and His Blood Brothers and Big Head Todd and the Monsters has been canceled — including a planned gig Aug. 23 at the Revolution Concert House in Garden City.
Big Head Todd and the Monsters will still play one of the announced dates, in Deer Valley, Utah, without Murray’s group. But the other two events — in Idaho and Redmond, Washington — won’t occur at all.
Big Head Todd and the Monsters shared the news on social media, saying that, “Unfortunately, our upcoming shows with Bill Murray are not going to happen together.”
No reason for the change of plans was offered. Tickets will be refunded for the Idaho and Washington shows, the post said.
An Academy Award-nominated movie star, Murray, 74, is known for classic roles in films ranging from “Stripes,” “Caddyshack” and “Ghostbusters” to “The Royal Tenenbaums” and “Lost in Translation.”
He also moonlights as the singer for Bill Murray and His Blood Brothers.
Boiseans longing to see hilarious Hollywood types perform live music can go see Adam Sandler instead. The “Happy Gilmore” actor definitely will unleash some silly crooning when he brings his comedy show to Ford Idaho Center in Nampa on Oct. 27.
