The Eddie Murphy concert slated for Hammerjacks this evening has been canceled due to throat problems, it was announced late yesterday.
According to Terrie Williams, Murphy's publicist, the comedian and singer had been feeling strained for much of the two-week tour with his band, Psychedelic Psoul. "There's been a lot on him," she said.
Moreover, with filming scheduled to begin next week on "Beverly Hills Cop 3," Murphy apparently felt it would be unwise to risk damaging his voice by playing in Baltimore, the final date of the tour. A performance last night in Delaware went on as scheduled.
