Sasa Kovacevic Postpones Four Concerts After Surgery
Concerts in Kragujevac, Sabac, Rijeka and Pula are postponed until further notice. The singer had foot surgery about 20 days ago and sang seated in Majdanpek three days later.
Sasa Kovacevic will not perform in Kragujevac, Sabac, Rijeka or Pula. The concerts scheduled for October 16, 17, 23 and 24 are postponed until further notice because his health has worsened after foot surgery. The singer’s manager announced the news on social media.
The singer had the operation about 20 days ago. The exact date of the procedure and the hospital have not been given. Three days after surgery he still performed in Majdanpek, where he sang most of the concert seated on a chair, with a splint on his leg. Despite severe pain, he did not want to cancel the show.
The official statement reads:
“We inform you that the upcoming concerts of Sasa Kovacevic are being postponed due to the worsening of his health after foot surgery, as a result of which he is currently unable to perform on the originally scheduled dates.”
Which concerts are postponed?
The postponed shows are:
- October 16: Kragujevac, Jezero Hall
- October 17: Sabac, Zorka Hall
- October 23: Rijeka, Exportdrvo Hall
- October 24: Pula, Mate Parlov Sports Hall
The two nearest concerts, in Kragujevac and Sabac, were due next Friday and Saturday, with Rijeka and Pula a week later. There is no more detailed information yet on what happened after the operation.
The organizer, Melos estrada, confirmed that the October 16 and 17 dates have been moved and said it will notify audiences of the new dates in good time.
What happens to tickets, and when are the new dates?
The organizers will announce new dates later. Tickets already purchased will be valid for the rescheduled concerts. How long the recovery will take has not been disclosed.
The statement ends with these words:
“We hope that Sasa Kovacevic’s health will improve soon, so that the tour can continue and the remaining concerts can be held as planned. We thank you for your understanding, patience and continued support.”
What has the singer said about his family?
Kovacevic and his wife Zorana are expecting a child. The couple kept the pregnancy quiet at first, and the singer later said, in an undated statement:
“We are very happy and we are waiting for the day when little Kovacevic, a boy or a girl, comes to us.”
In the same earlier statement he also spoke about which sex he hopes for:
“I would like it to be a girl, but if it’s a boy, I’ll be happy.”
Both statements date from before the concerts were postponed and have nothing to do with the surgery or the singer’s health.
