Recent health issues mentioned. He will be replaced both at the Hollywood Bowl and Tanglewood.

Indeed. And if they're getting David Newman to fill in, it's still a pretty good show.

Oh, I agree. David Newman always does a super job conducting.

[Nerd alert! Needlessly snarky remark to follow]

If they were performing the likes of EL CID, PICNIC and FOREVER AMBER, I wouldn't give a dinky-darn if it were conducted by Vanna White. I'd be there for the music, not the dude with the baton.

And the music being poorly performed would still be the music you’re there for?

There's been plenty-o-orchestras who gave performances where they paid zero attention to the conductor.

From the Hollywood Bowl: Due to a recent health concern, from which he is expected to make a full recovery, John Williams will be unable to perform. Maestro Williams originally planned to share the podium with conductor David Newman, who at John’s request, has graciously agreed to conduct the entire concert. The program will otherwise remain unchanged.

Let me say having David Newman as a conductor for the whole concert will be a real treat. He's extraordinary.

My best Missus gifted me with tickets to this.

Shattered JW isn't conducting.

Elated David Newman took over as he is not only an impeccably fine conductor, an astute & excellent composer.

So unfortunate that he has health issues and can't conduct, but let us not forget that he is 92 years old. I think that he should focus more on composing and leave the conducting to others. Of course orchestras love to have him because he sells tickets and some people may have the chance to be in one of his concerts for the first time but I think he should stop conducting. Even composing may be difficult at his age. Of course the interaction with younger people in the orchestra and with an audience gives joy and energy to an artist. Anyway, I hope for his best.

That's a ploy. It's his dominoes final.

Chicago now cancelled for October.

Replacement conductor at least.

Wow, that's 4 months from now...This sounds serious. Maybe 'The legacy of John Williams' or 'John Williams Fan Network' can shed some light the current situation.

A statement from the John Williams representatives is highly improbable

It doesn't hurt to ask, as long as it's civil.
