Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay is laying low as he heals from a respiratory illness. 

“Jim Irsay is currently being treated for a severe respiratory illness,” the team shared in a statement on Tuesday.

“While this unfortunately means he won’t be able to perform with his band this week in Los Angeles, he is receiving excellent care and looks forward to returning to the stage as soon as possible,” the statement continued. “We’ll have no additional information at this time and we ask that you respect the privacy of Jim and his family as he recovers.”

Irsay was set to take the stage with his band, “The Jim Isray Band,” on Thursday to perform and showcase his collection of music memorabilia. 

Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top and Kevin Cronin of REO Speedwagon are still set to perform.

Who would you pick if you could start a band with a team owner? Thanks, Killabrew
