The Mavericks have cancelled the remaining dates on their 2025 tour after Raul Malo shared that his cancer battle has "taken a turn."

"As it goes with cancer, it's a very unpredictable and indiscriminatory disease," the singer shared on social media. "I've developed something called LMD, which stands for get this sh-t out of my head. Treatment for this is radiation, which I will start tomorrow. We will probably jump into some chemo, and are even looking at alternative therapies. But it's time to take your words to heart of resting and recovering, so that's what I'm going to do." LMD stands for Leptomeningeal Disease, which is a form of cancer in the cerebrospinal fluid and leptomeninges, the membranes that surround the brain and spinal chord. Raul is urging fans to hold onto the tickets they have for the Mavericks shows at the Ryman Auditorium on December 5th and 6th. He says the band is "planning something special there, and hope to announce that very soon."
