Bonnie Raitt has pulled out of the first leg of her U.S. tour with James Taylor due to an unspecified “medical situation” that requires surgery. Raitt on Monday posted a statement on her Facebook page apologizing to fans and saying the medical issue arose following her annual physical. She says the prognosis is “good” and a full recovery is expected. Raitt, 68, says she expects to rejoin Taylor for his tour’s second leg in June and a European tour in July. Raitt asks that she be given privacy and “space to heal.”
