Ryan Adams Cancels Tour

Ryan Adams has cancelled his thirteen-date U.S. tour due to a broken wrist he suffered in a stage fall last week in England.

Adams lost his footing during the last song of a performance at the Royal Court Theater in Liverpool on January 22nd, falling six feet from the stage and fracturing his left wrist. Twelve European dates were nixed through February 10th.

The singer-songwriter will undergo surgery next week. Recuperation and physical therapy time forced him to call off the American dates, which were to begin March 2nd in Columbia, Missouri.

Adams had planned to support a trio of late-2003 releases: the Rock N Roll album and the dual Love Is Hell, Part 1 and Love Is Hell, Part 2 EPs.

“Oh Sherrie”

Steve Perry | 1984

Steve Perry's girlfriend Sherrie Swafford was actually in the studio when Perry began writing this song--his lone Top Ten hit as a solo act--with two co-writers. The trio began at midnight one night with just "Oh, Sherrie!" and "hold on, hold on." Three hours later, they had a complete song. Swafford, however, had to wait until the next day to hear it. "Sherrie actually got tired and went to bed," Perry said. She also appeared in the video, but their relationship did not hold on for long.
