An iconic country music group that first hit the scene in the late '80s had to share some tough news with their loyal fanbase when they cancelled two upcoming tour dates. The reason? Their adored frontman is on the mend following stage four cancer surgery earlier in August and needs time to recover.
In a statement posted to the band's official Instagram account on Friday, The Mavericks announced they would have to call off two of their highly anticipated post-summer-break performances. The canceled shows were scheduled for Las Vegas on Sept. 4 and Santa Fe on Sept. 6.
While concertgoers were certainly disappointed, the post was met with overwhelming understanding. The comments sections on both the band's announcement and Malo's personal Instagram, where he reposted it, were quickly flooded with messages of love, prayer, and healing from fans and fellow artists alike.

Fellow country-folk musician Drayton Farley added, "Raul is a force and a gentleman. Rest up!"
"We'll be here when you're good and ready to hit the road again. Until then, rest and focus on your healing. ❤️" One user wrote, while many others shared similar sentiments like, "Praying for your healing and recovery!"
The Mavericks have been a musical force for over three decades. Founded in Miami in 1989, the band quickly stood out for their unique blend of neotraditional country, rock 'n' roll, and Latin and jazz influences. They achieved commercial success with their major-label debut album From Hell to Paradise in 1992 and again with album What a Crying Shame in 1994, which featured multiple hits including "O What a Thrill." The group went on to win a Grammy Award for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal in 1996 for their song “Here Comes the Rain.”
While the early September dates are off, there is still hope for the rest of the tour. In their Instagram statement the band said, "At this time, we do anticipate the shows supporting Dwight Yoakam, Sept 11-13 to continue as planned."
The band also confirmed that while the Santa Fe show could not be rescheduled, full refunds will be offered and they plan to return to the Big Blues Bender festival in 2026.
