July 3, 2019

Rick Springfield has recently rescheduled an upcoming festival in the Dominican Republic’s Punta Cana region out of what he has called an “abundance of caution.” This change of plans is in wake of the deaths of at least 10 American tourists in the Dominican Republic this year under mysterious circumstances.

On Monday, July first, Springfield took to Twitter to further explain his decision to reschedule the “Rick Springfield & Friends” getaway show, which was originally slated to take place in November in the popular vacation destination.

“We have been closely monitoring the situation in the Dominican Republic,” Springfield, 69 wrote on Twitter of the Nov. 7 event slated to feature Scandal singer Patty Smyth, as well as host and SiriusXM DJ Mark Goodman, actor Doug Davidson and musical guests Guns & Mullets. “In an abundance of caution and for the peace of mind and well-being of my fans, band and crew, the ‘Rick Springfield & Friends’ event in Punta Cana is being rescheduled to take place at Hard Rock Hotel Cancun in 2020. New dates will be determined as soon as possible. We hope to have this announcement within the next two weeks.”
