Ravi Shankar has canceled his scheduled Oct. 23 concert at the Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts.

The center made the announcement today (June 27), relaying a statement from Shankar’s management company, Opus 3 Artists. The statement read, in part, “It is with deep regrets that, due to health issues, Panditji Ravi Shankar must cancel his October 2012 tour."
 
The Mondavi Center announced that it will issue refunds to all ticket holders no later than Friday, July 13.
