On orders from doctors for an unspecified condition, Ray Davies cannot travel, so highly anticipated upcoming US concert appearances by the former Kinks leader have been scuttled. Without specifying what ails Davies, a statement on his web site reads that he was "...ordered by his doctors not to fly or embark on the accompanying ground travel for the forthcoming four US dates until his medical condition has stabilized".  You don't have to be a doctor (or even play one on TV) to know that physicians often advise against air travel and prolonged periods in a seated position for patients known to have or to be at risk for blood clots.  Just sayin'.  Whatever the cause, Rock Insights joins Kinks & Davies fans in wishing him a rapid rebound to better health.
Davies recently released See My Friends, an excellent collection pairing him with guest musicians including Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Browne and Metallica on Kinks classics (story).
