Saturday's concert by British balladeer Engelbert Humperdink at Mystic Lake Casino has been rescheduled due to a medical emergency. The casino has already set a makeup date for Sept. 27, when all original tickets will be honored. Refunds will also be given out for fans who can not make it. A statement from the singer's representative did not say what ails the "Release Me" hitmaker, 77, but it did manage to plug his new record:

"Engelbert wishes to extend his deepest apologies for having to reschedule the date due to ill health. He assures everyone that he is very much looking forward to the new date and promises an amazing show featuring music from his new album along with all his greatest hits. He hopes that all his fans can make the new date and share in an engaging evening of music."
