Isaac Hanson Hospitalized

Hanson

Isaac Hanson, the oldest of the three Hanson brothers was hospitalized today for severe chest and shoulder pain in Dallas. The band is currently on tour for their album ‘The Walk’ and were set to do a show in their hometown, Tulsa, tonight. Instead, the fans who have come for the show will have the option for a DVD screening, and bands Locksley and the Meerkats will play.

There is no word on the cause or seriousness of Isaac’s condition, or whether or not this will affect upcoming show dates, the next of which is Friday in Kansas City.

Update: TMZ.com is reporting it’s a pulmonary embolism, which is a blot clot, and could potentially be serious. Isaac has had this happen in the past, and spent several days in the hospital. I’d say they’ll be canceling more shows. Get better, Isaac.

Second Update: Isaac is reportedly in stable condition. It was originally reported he was in Tulsa, but apparently he’s hospitalized in Dallas. When asked about his brother, Taylor said:

“We appreciate thoughts and prayers that have been out there for him,” he said by phone from Tulsa, Okla., the band’s hometown. “We want the tour to go on, so you know we are working steadfastly to see how long he’s going to need to rest.”

Update three: Isaac Hanson apparently underwent emergency surgery to alleviate his condition. However, he wanted the walk for charity to go on. Taylor and Zac were out on the street with fans, and the scheduled walk took place, in order to benefit AIDS awareness.

At this time, the Tulsa show (last night), the Kansas City show, and the St. Louis show are reportedly postponed. For the latest updates on the tour, go to hanson.net.

Thanks for this info! Man I was worried. I went onto Hanson.net and saw the notice about the postponed show. It’s a relief he’s stable now.

Kimberly, Hanson is a band of 3 brothers. They are REALLLLY good, you should check them out. You’d knkow them for mmmBOP, but they are all grown up and doing more rocky music now…

You can check out their docs about founding a new lable and about the making of the lates album THe Walk at iTunes. They are called Strong Enough to Break and Taking the Walk respectively. They are for free download.

She did, Angie, you’re right.

And I’m glad he’s doing okay too. Apparently it was really serious.

(It’s nice to see other Hanson fans here at GTS.)
