ELKHART — Three Dog Night has been forced to postpone five upcoming concerts, including the Oct. 25 event at the Lerner Theatre, due to a medical issue affecting co-founder and lead singer Cory Wells. 

The concert in downtown Elkhart has been rescheduled for 7 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 23, 2016.

Wells has been receiving treatment for a nerve problem in his back, and bandmate Danny Hutton said, “Cory’s physician has made this decision, and we want to make sure Cory has the time to get the treatment he needs for complete recovery.”

For the Elkhart show, original tickets and seat assignments will be honored on the rescheduled Jan. 23 date. Patrons seeking an exchange or refund for the event must provide original tickets to the Lerner box office, whether in person or by mail. For more information on the process, visit TheLerner.com or call (574) 293-4469.

Three Dog Night, presented by Shout! Promotions, has sold more than 50 million units and achieved 21-straight top-40 singles. The group’s number one songs include “Mama Told Me (Not To Come),” “Black and White,” and “Joy To The World.”
