Not Well
Guitarist and singer Chuck Berry pulled out of two sold-out concerts in Spain this past weekend - at the very last minute. Without any explanation!
Shady.
The action has caused many to speculate over his health, as the musician turns 82 years old in a few months.
According to organizers, Berry is on tour in Europe and had been paid for the two concerts already.
The promoters might consider taking legal action.
And, to make it even worse, it was just ONE hour before he was supposed to go on stage when his agent called the promoters to let them know that the singer had left the country.
He left behind some 4,000 very unhappy fans.
A statement released by the organizers, says "With only a few concerts scheduled in our country, his rudeness left his promoter and his fans without a concert."
As for Berry's health, a friend reveals, "There were rumours that he has not been feeling well during his current tour, and suffered pain on stage at a concert. We are not sure of Chuck's exact whereabouts at the moment."
Well, we hope he's well.
He shouldn't be working that hard at 82!

A Step Down
moo
So sad
damn he's 82?
I thought that man was dead.
I performed in the World Veteran Olympics Opening Ceremony in Buffalo a decade and a half ago and Chuck Berry was the headlining act–he kept trying to get teenage girls to go back to his trailer with him and he was totally lascivious.
Poor Uncle Chuck!
3rd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thats so sad..
hope he's alright
he lives in MO..so possibly the closest great hospital is St Louis University hospital
he still looks like a younger version of flava flav… haha. sucks for flav
Amazing the he can still do a performance at 82! My mil is 82 and she justs sits and stares at the tv-it is sad that older performers did not get the same type of money that performers get nowadays. Alot were not able to just 'retire' needing to do keep performing or learn something new. hope he is okay. should have to pay back the money, but most performers are probably paid ahead. Damn, Celine D. was selling tickets 10 months ahead of performing.
Ok, first, this is CHUCK BERRY! He's an original god of rock and roll and he has worked harder than almost anyone around today. He became famous because people heard and loved his music, not because they wanted to fit into his clothes or smell like him or do do the sexy hula with him. Second, he's 82, he can do what he wants. I just hope he's going to be ok. I love you Perez, but you need to put on some 50's-60's rock and dance some respect back into your ears. You'll thank me later!
He needs to take a nap.
I thought he died two years ago and still hasn't been buried.
Wow, THE CAPTAIN needs to get himself a stronger sunscreen!
"Well, we hope he's well," said Mario. But we'll still infer that something shady is going on.
More inept reporting from a jealous and insecure man with deep self-esteem issues.
Perhaps he wanted to catch up on some scat sessions back home.
Damn! I thought it was Flava Flav too!
Hey, Chub P, who came up with the term 'shit eating grin'? Perhaps you should try some of the brown caviar with your new diet, fatso.
Once again, slamming someone that has accomplished something other than sitting in a coffee shop annoying people.
Oh please - he's just staying at home to watch the latest poo movies.
all that shit eating finally caught up with his nasty ass. that's right folks, mr chuck berry gets off on eating shit. delish!
chuck berry is an icon of rock
as far as i'm concerned he can do what he pleases
go johnny go
SHADY?? SHADY??? Where the fuck do you get off saying "Shady" when an 82 year old man … FOR WHATEVER REASON … can't put on a rock and roll show? I mean, it's not like he's sitting on his fat ass in front of a computer all day like you do. Shit, half the time you don't even post a fucking thing on weekends you fucking lazy asshole, and you have the balls (doubtful) to call an 82 year old legend SHADY?

I hate you Perez, and your little dog too!
Chuck Berry FARTS better music than anything being made today.
Re: Eden – I wish I could take what you said and pound it into the heads of the stupid, tasteless people on here. No wonder this country is in trouble. People do not know talent, they think a lip-syncher or a booty shaker is talent. Even this dip site with skanks Lauren Conrad Audrina Patridge being passed off as TALENT. It's a damn shame.
Chuck's son, Chuck Jr., always tours and performs with his dad. He wouldn't let Chuck pull out of a concert unless his health was the issue. I highly doubt there's anything "shady" going on - the man's 82 for f*ck's sake. A true fan would understand that.
awww, get well soon. im a big fan of yours chuck.
He's selling out concerts? Last year he played at some free county park concert.
Re: alex – oh yeah he sells out all the time at Blueberry Hill in St. Louis. He puts on a show every other month or so and it always sells out weeks before.
Say it ain't so. I hope whatever prompted him to cancel is temporary. Even at 82, he still rocks
maybe he has to work to pay off the legal bills from when he was arrested for installing cameras in the women's restroom at his eatery
do some research
Chuck Berry is one of the most miserable people in the land. It's no surprise that he took the money and bailed on the show. Good riddance, dickhead.
Um, hi. He's FUCKING 82! Therefore, the cancellation of shows should not be referred to as "Shady." The promoters better cut him some slack, too. This Chuck Berry, for christ's sake, not fucking Amy Winehouse.
maybe he was caught AGAIN video tapping himself pissing on a young girl in the bath tub. ive seen other videos of him doing this, stuff has been going on for years. stay weird chuck, we miss you!
the white owned record companies stole all his early earnings so he has to work
Don't y'all know that a "Brown Eyed Handsome Man" can get away with practically anything?
Aw, God bless him — could he have possibly been in LINY this past week? Looks exactly like a gentlemen I spoke with on line in Waldbaums. We discussed the cover of one of the rags depicticting Lisa Marie's alleged "pot cellar".
GET WELL SOON Uncle Chuck !!!
Chuck Berry is the king of rock n roll
Re: loser –
Yup, I saw him play the last show he did at Blueberry Hill. 82 and he still rocked the place. Amazing. He's cancelled the last show, and has it rescheduled for next month. He cancelled a few shows earlier this year too. 82 is just old. No doubt about it. And, really, so what if he's a dirty old man. We all are, just not all of us are rock stars and 82. He had both his adult kids on stage playing with him, and they obviously loved their dad, warts and all.
Get better, Chuck!
Chuck Berry is one of the Best! I hope God will send him home, in peace when it is God's Time.
He was supposed to perform at the ASU football game against USC last Thanksgiving with our band but pulled out last minute too. I had to rewrite the press release when we got Little Richard instead. His PR guy said he has been really sick recently.
I bet i can find 1,000,000 soprt and militery guys and admires on internet !
jion us and show your respect to i like this poem. ——-

They should have gotten his cousin, Marvin Berry, to play those concerts instead. Hey Chuck, you know that new sound you've been looking for? Listen to this!
CHUCK BERYY LOVES MUSIC AND THAT IS ALL THERE IS TO IT!
MUSIC IS HEAVEN TO ANYONE
ANY AGE
SHIT, PEREZ
YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS!!!
Well he sure sucked HARD when he played in Denmark. He should just retire. It's obvious he doesn't do it for the love of music anymore, he's just greedy.
HEY!!! That dude's got sienna millers hat on? Has he been screwing her too!
I saw him Texas about 10 years ago and he was a major douche. No surprise.
well thats what junkies do, he may not still shoot junk, but once a junkie always a junkie
Re: jc – u mean he shot it all in to him arm
saw him in Ireland a few months ago and gave an amazing show!
best wishes to the king of rock n roll!
82? For goodness sake, take a break! And thank you for the music!
