In a statement on Twitter Friday, Lewis shared that he has lost most of his hearing. He can’t hear music well enough to sing.
Multiple doctors have agree that Lewis should stop performing. The tour schedule had Huey and the News performing Outside Lands this summer with several other shows across the country.
