The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee planned to return to performing this year after postponing concerts last fall when an “urgent heart condition” found during a routine checkup sent him to the hospital. However, Mason revealed Tuesday that an infection has set back his recovery.

Mason shared the news through a statement from his representatives. The 79-year-old cancelled the remaining dates on his “Traffic Jam 2024” tour last September. He said at the time that he was diagnosed with a serious heart condition that required immediate medical attention.
