Matthews had been set to take the stage at the Jan. 30 benefit concert in the wake of the devastating Los Angeles wildfires.

CNN has reached out to a representative for Matthews for comment. The FireAid benefit concert, a music event set up to aid the relief efforts following the deadly and devastating Los Angeles wildfires, is set to take place on Thursday at the Kia Forum and the new Intuit Dome, both located in the LA city of Inglewood.

The sudden cancellation was announced in a brief statement shared on the official Dave Matthews Band Instagram page on Wednesday, Jan. 29, just one day before he was due to take the stage at the Kia Forum with John Mayer for the star-studded FireAid benefit concert raising funds for Los Angeles-area wildfire relief.

Dave Matthews has bowed out of performances at the FireAid benefit concert and the MusiCares Person of the Year benefit gala amid a family emergency, the band announced Wednesday.

The singer also announced his inability to participate in the MusiCares Person of the Year benefit gala on Friday.

Intuit Dome and Kia Forum in the Los Angeles area will host FireAid on Thursday, Jan. 30, to raise money for rebuilding communities devastated by wildfires and supporting efforts to prevent future fire disasters throughout Southern California.

The legendary jam band — with 49 shows behind it at Saratoga Performing Arts Center — is a summer staple at SPAC, its loyal fans having set the record for most sold-out shows at the 25,000-person venue — not surprising for a band that has sold 38 million albums and more than 25 million concert tickets since debuting in the 1990s.
