The Barenaked Ladies had to cancel two shows at Ottawa’s National Arts Centre on Saturday due to yet another hurtle was thrown their way.

The band explained (via their official website) that Ed Robertson’s mother "has been admitted suddenly to the hospital with a serious illness."  The shows will be rescheduled soon so you’ve got the choice of keeping your ticket (it will be honored) or getting a refund through Ticketmaster.

This is just the latest in a series of unfortunate events for BNL this year – lead singer Steven Page was arrested on several charges including drug possession and Ed Robertson survived a plane crash.

My thoughts go out to Ed, his mother and their family.
