MUSIC legend Bruce Springsteen canceled a performance in Kansas City after his cousin and road crew member was found dead in the Kansas City’s Intercontinental Hotel Monday.

“Lenny Sullivan, Bruce’s cousin and the assistant road manager of the E Street Band for the last 10 years, passed away today at the age of 36,” a statement on Springsteen’s website read. “A warm and sensitive person, he was beloved by Bruce, the Band, the crew, and the entire Thrill Hill family.”

Kansas City police said they are investigating, but that the death wasn’t considered suspicious.

Tickets for Monday’s show are to be refunded.

“Bruce and the Band deeply appreciate the understanding of our Kansas City audience, and look forward to returning at our the first opportunity,” continued the message on Springsteen’s website.
