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.
鈥淵ou don鈥檛 cancel unless they鈥檙e rolling you out of the building on a stretcher,鈥� said Good, who had been rolled out of a building on a stretcher several days earlier. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 the way it is.鈥�
Good said doctors wanted him to stay at the hospital, but that 鈥渂eing that it鈥檚 not a prison, and you鈥檙e fully free to be a moron and leave if you so desire, I鈥檝e chosen to play the last two shows to the best of my ability.鈥�
