Bill and Hillary Clinton's Sugar Land tour stop rescheduled

Bill and Hillary Clinton's speaking event in Sugar Land has been rescheduled for a later date due to former president George H. W. Bush's death, the event organizer announced Monday.

The Clintons, initially scheduled to speak atthe Smart Financial Centre Tuesday evening, instead will fly to Washington, D.C., to "pay their respects to President Bush and his family," Live Nation Marketing Director Brian Birr said in an email.

Bush, who Bill Clinton defeated in the 1992 presidential election, died Friday at age 94. His remains are being transported Monday to the U.S. Capitol, ahead of a memorial service Wednesday morning at the National Cathedral.

Live Nation and the Clintons have yet to announce a new date for the Sugar Land event, which was scheduled to be the third stop in a 13-city tour. It kicked off in Toronto, where the duo did not sell out the nearly 20,000-seat Scotiabank Arena.

After Tuesday's event, the Clintons do not have a scheduled tour stop until April, when they will resume at the Beacon Theatre in New York City. The tour wraps up in May 2019.

At initial stops in Toronto and Montreal, the Clintons have rebuked Trump, who defeated Hillary Clinton about two years ago. Before the tour began, Clinton said in an interview she would "like to be president," but has not indicated whether she plans to run again.

Bush and Bill Clinton maintained close ties in the years following the 1992 election, and Clinton in a statement said he was "profoundly grateful for every minute" he spent with Bush and "will always hold our friendship as one of my life's greatest gifts."
