JASON MRAZ CANCELS TONIGHT'S DRAKE RELAYS CONCERT

Jason Mraz, who is noted for his mellow, coffee shop style of guitar and vocals, has canceled his 2005 Drake Relays Concert scheduled for 8 p.m. tonight (Wednesday, April 13) at the Drake Knapp Center due to illness. Mraz became ill during a concert last night in Tulsa, Okla., and was unable to finish the performance.

Drake University officials are attempting to reschedule the concert. If the concert cannot be rescheduled in the near future, refunds will be issued to those who purchased tickets. For more information, call (515) 271-2000.
