Musician Matthew Good has checked himself out of hospital, saying he intends to play two upcoming concerts in Kelowna and Abbotsford.
Good, who has been suffering from pneumonia, earlier this week. A subsequent concert in Prince George alongside Our Lady Peace was rescheduled for the following day, but Good was still unable to make it. Our Lady Peace and Ellevator performed as planned.
The hospitalization left his participation in subsequent stops in Kelowna and Abbotsford up in the air. But on Friday morning, Good posted on Instagram that he had left hospital and would be playing.
ѻýYou donѻýt cancel unless theyѻýre rolling you out of the building on a stretcher,ѻý said Good, who had been rolled out of a building on a stretcher several days earlier. ѻýThatѻýs the way it is.ѻý
Good said doctors wanted him to stay at the hospital, but that ѻýbeing that itѻýs not a prison, and youѻýre fully free to be a moron and leave if you so desire, Iѻýve chosen to play the last two shows to the best of my ability.ѻý
