COSTA MESA...Pacific Amphitheatre has announced that Cheap Trick with special guest X will replace Joan Jett & The Blackhearts at a Sept. 5 concert following an injury.

"Following a recent injury, Joan Jett has undergone orthopedic surgery on a fractured vertebrae and will begin the necessary healing process. In close consultation with her doctors, Joan will not be able to perform at her forthcoming September scheduled shows, including a Sept. 5 concert at Pacific Amphitheatre. While Joan hates to disappoint fans, she will be taking this time to focus on physical therapy and healing. She’s looking forward to delivering tremendous concerts for many years to come."
