    Yelawolf Hospitalized, Cancels Detroit Concert
    LK's Soap Box says (06 Mar '12)

    Admittedly, I found out about Yelawolf (Michael Atha) from his great song with Kid Rock, Let's Roll. I can listen to that song a "few" times and it just doesn't get old! I like a lot of his other songs too: Pop the Trunk (hey, I think that shotgun tottin' guy in the video (Yelawolf's stepdad) is the guy on KR's shirt from when he did the WRIF Interview ; ) Marijuana, Daddy's Lambo, and Box Chevy to name a few others. Learning more about him, you just can't help but like the guy! I know he's a hard worker, like Kid Rock; so, my bet is that it has something to do with exhaustion. I hope that's "all" it is and that he's feeling better soon.

    Yelawolf was admitted to the hospital Friday after a concert in Wisconsin, reports concert promoter Live Nation. The hip-hop artist was scheduled to perform March 6 at Saint Andrew's Hall in Detroit. "At the request of his doctor, the show will be postponed to a later date." Tickets must be returned at point of purchase for a refund. They also will be honored at yet-to-be determined rescheduled concert.

    The thirty-two-year-old rapper, was hospitalized following a performance in Madison on Friday night. His tour promoter Live Nation announced that Yelawolf "remains under observation for illness" after it became clear his hospital detour would force him to cancel his following show in Detroit.

    This is the first bit of bad luck for the Alabama MC in some time. Ever since Eminem personally invited him to join Shady Records last year, his profile and fan base have been steadily increasing.

    In a review of Yela's Friday night concert, the local Onion A.V. Club did note that his audience included "a few sneakerhead douchebags peppered throughout the crowd who seemed hellbent on assassinating the rapper with empty water bottles." That probably doesn't explain his hospital stay, but it seems worth mentioning. If only to repeat the phrase "sneakerhead douchebags."

    Here's hoping for Yelawolf's speedy recovery.
