The latest on this story: UPDATED: Issac Hanson in surgery on Thursday

Wednesday night’s homecoming show for Tulsa pop act Hanson at Cain’s Ballroom has been indefinitely postponed, according to an email from Debbie Jones, regional manager for ticket outlet Gettix.net, which handles ticket sales for the venue.

Eldest Hanson bandmember, Isaac Hanson, was receiving treatment at an area hospital earlier today for an undetermined ailment, said Ken Philips, the band’s publicity manager.

“Tonight’s show is definitely cancelled,” he said in a phone call to the Tulsa World early Wednesday afternoon.

“There are no results yet” from tests, but Philips did say that Isaac Hanson was admitted to the hospital earlier today with severe shoulder and chest pain. “This could be serious, but nobody knows just yet,” he added. “We are hoping for the best.

“We will be making a public announcement with more details when we get them later this afternoon,” he said.

While the concert is off, there will be a show Wednesday night.

Hanson will offer a free, all-ages fan gathering and DVD screening at 6 p.m. at the Blank Slate, First Street and Elgin Avenue. In addition to viewing Hanson's latest DVD, two bands, Locksley and the Meerkats will play for those assembled.

Zac and Taylor Hanson took part in a one-mile

walk Wedneday afternoon from the front doors of Cain’s Ballroom, 423 North Main Street.

The walk -- designed to raise awareness of HIV/AIDS and poverty in Africa -- attracted thousands of Hanson fans downtown Wednesday.

Meanwhile, a new show date is pending, and no refunds will be offered at this time, according to Jones’ email.

It is unknown at this time if Isaac Hanson’s illness will force postponement of other shows on Hanson’s nation-wide “The Walk” tour.

Upcoming dates in October:

Oct 5 - Kansas City, Mo.

Oct 6 - St Louis

Oct 08 - Knoxville, Tenn.

	Report Comment chilly, (10/3/2007 11:17:38 AM) They aren't promoting the river tax. Nice try to get your random political stab in, though. Okay, not really.
	Report Comment warren, (10/3/2007 11:31:12 AM) Obviously Kathy Taylor, illegal immigrants, and poor parenting are to blame.
	Report Comment SRV, (10/3/2007 12:02:31 PM) Who cares?! $38 plus service charge is TOO MUCH anyway.....Vote NO next tuesday!
	Report Comment Vote no or BUST!, Tulsa (10/3/2007 12:12:05 PM) Use the grant money from the Hurricane Katrina victims to pay for the river instead of our tax dollars! We will need all our money to install alarm systems to counter the crime that came with them.
	Report Comment Jeff, (10/3/2007 12:51:50 PM) Hanson??? HAHAHAHAHAHA..
	Report Comment Bethani, Tusla (10/3/2007 12:58:31 PM) This isn't about the freakin' river tax and nobody cares what you think about it anyway. It's about a concert I (and I know tons of others) were really looking forward to and now have to wait and see when they will reschedule it. Plus, the tickes were $33 and I'd pay way more to see them in concert again!! Get better Isaac!!
	Report Comment Krissy, (10/3/2007 1:01:30 PM) You are in our prayers Isaac.
	Report Comment Bill, (10/3/2007 1:03:26 PM) 33 dollars for Hanson? What a joke. Maybe they got sick from guilt for charging 10 times what they are worth!!!!!
	Report Comment Jessica, (10/3/2007 1:21:05 PM) If you all hate Hanson so much, why are you even reading the article about them?
	Report Comment Bethani, (10/3/2007 1:34:53 PM) No kidding!! Surely you have something better to do than put down Hanson. Go somewhere else with your Hanson hating self!!
	Report Comment Missinhippi, Coweta (10/3/2007 1:53:18 PM) You are in our prayers Isaac have a beautiful day and hope to catch you at the rescheduled show..........
	Report Comment JW, (10/3/2007 1:55:43 PM) Hanson is too sick to attend an illness and poverty concert. Now THAT is irony.
	Report Comment B.A. Dad , (10/3/2007 2:04:45 PM) Hanson is still a band?????
	Report Comment Non Hansonite, (10/3/2007 2:04:54 PM) JW/ That is irony! haha.. I think it may be puberty related. His voice is cracking and he is sounding like a sheep. $33 is WAY to much. The same people that like Hanson are the same ones pulling for a New Kids On The Block Reunion Tour...
	Report Comment si3cginmon PROUD HANSON FAN, (10/3/2007 2:09:47 PM) You people make me sick. Political agendas have NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with this article or Hanson at ALL. Go out and DO SOME GOOD instead of constantly ragging on people and trying to push your agenda. Today Zac and Taylor Hanson, DESPITE the fact that their brother is sick, are leading people on a one-mile walk to raise awareness for AIDS and poverty in Africa. They are amazing people as well as phenomenal musicians, and people that are stuck in 1997 really need to get over themselves.
	Report Comment SRV, (10/3/2007 2:11:44 PM) I heard ticket sales were low.....$33 plus $6 service chrage is still TOO MUCH.
	Report Comment Rachael , (10/3/2007 2:16:55 PM) Who cares how much tickets were?! Other bands have charged $100's to play somewhere! Plus IT ISN"T UP TO HANSON! And that is besides the fact, Isaac is ill and from certain rumors going around, it's from a blood clot that he has fought with before. Those are VERY dangerous! We love Isaac and our prayers are with him! All his fans are hoping for him to get better soon! <3
	Report Comment Jay, (10/3/2007 2:18:00 PM) Dang, now we gotta wait on the New Kids on The Block revival concert!!
	Report Comment Rachael , (10/3/2007 2:24:09 PM) very mature
	Report Comment Vote no or BUST!, Tulsa-Midtown (10/3/2007 2:44:13 PM) #16 there's only so much you can say about Hanson...besides, it all comes down to politics.
	Report Comment Honky Donkey, (10/3/2007 2:46:33 PM) Hanson sucked before and now they want $33 to hear their crap! I think I could hang out in a public restroom and hear better s### than that!
	Report Comment Jo, (10/3/2007 2:50:51 PM) Wow! There's a lot of sad sad people in the world. If you have nothing better to do than go online talk bs about a band of guys that have done nothing wrong, maybe you should check yourself. Um... get a life!
	Report Comment Nikk, (10/3/2007 2:55:15 PM) Real mature people! Why do people that don't care, read the article? Anyways, get well Isaac!
	Report Comment Bree, (10/3/2007 3:08:56 PM) i can't believe someone would go and make fun of someone who's sick. god, i just LOVE how people who have NO IDEA go around judging others. snorts get a life people! as for isaac: i hope he'll get well soon.
