CNN has reached out to a representative for Matthews for comment. The FireAid benefit concert, a music event set up to aid the relief efforts following the deadly and devastating Los Angeles wildfires, is set to take place on Thursday at the Kia Forum and the new Intuit Dome, both located in the LA city of Inglewood.

Dave Matthews, who was part of a star-studded lineup of performers at a Los Angeles concert to raise money for wildfire relief, said on Wednesday he would not be able to perform.

Matthews had been set to take the stage at the Jan. 30 benefit concert in the wake of the devastating Los Angeles wildfires.

With FireAid set to kick off Thursday night, Dave Matthews was forced to cancel his performance due to a "critical illness in the family."
