Three Dog Night will play at the Admiral Theatre on March 25, the venue announced this morning.

The venerable band’s concert scheduled for next Friday, Oct. 2 at the Admiral had to be postponed after co-frontman and co-founder Cory Wells (at left in the photo, with [from second left] Paul Kingery, Michael Allsup, Danny Hutton and Pat Bautz) suffered back problems that required treatment and rest.

The Admiral said that tickets for the Oct. 2 concert will be honored on March 25. Ticketholders who are unable to attend on that date should contact the box office at 360-373-6743 for a full refund. The Oct. 2 concert was a sell-out.

The band initially cancelled a date on Labor Day weekend, allowing Wells to receive medical attention. Further action has been deemed necessary by Wells’ doctors, however.

“Of course we are really disappointed about postponing these dates, but Cory’s physician has made this decision and the rest of us want to make sure Cory can get on top of this and have time to completely recover,” the band’s other co-frontman and co-founder, Danny Hutton, is quoted in the release. “That’s the best way to ensure we can resume touring and get back out there with our fans.”
