Jay Leno suffers “serious burns,” cancels Nov. 19 concert at Bellco Theatre

Comedian and former “Tonight Show” host Jay Leno canceled his Saturday, Nov. 19, show at Denver’s Bellco Theatre after suffering “serious burns” from a gasoline fire, promoter Outback Presents said Tuesday.

The 5,000-seat “Two Legends, One Historic Night” concert, with fellow mega-comic Jeff Foxworthy, was billed as a “rare co-headline event” when tickets went on sale in July. Ticket seller AXS listed the all-ages show as canceled after a publicist sent out the news release late Tuesday afternoon.

All tickets will be automatically refunded at the original point of purchase. Full refunds will be processed this week. Ticket holders will receive credit in the next seven to 10 days, promoters said.

Leno on Monday released this statement after People magazine reported his injury: “I got some serious burns from a gasoline fire. I am OK. Just need a week or two to get back on my feet.”

Little else is known about the fire, except that it started in his famed garage in Burbank, California, which houses his vintage car collection. He may also have suffered burns on one side of his face, according to published reports. Leno, who stepped down from his “Tonight Show” hosting duties in 2014, lately has hosted the CNBC series “Jay Leno’s Garage.”
