After a potentially life-threatening medical condition forced the Hansons to postpone the band’s eagerly awaited homecoming show at Cain’s Ballroom in early October, the boys made it back onto the road and will revisit the historic venue Sunday.

The Oct. 3 show was halted after eldest Hanson brother Isaac was taken to a Dallas hospital and diagnosed with pulmonary embolism early that morning — a blood clot that traveled to a lung — and thoracic outlet syndrome or Paget-Schroeder syndrome, a rare condition caused by compression of blood vessels and nerves in the area of the collarbone. causes pain, numbness and loss of grip strength.

“I’m lucky to be here,” Isaac Hanson said as he patted the elastic bandage that covered his right forearm a press conference last month. He has said that he will undergo surgery permanently repair the problem, probably sometime after Christmas.

The Tulsa act has sold out several shows during its current national tour, according to press reports.

The band has worked to raise social awareness of AIDS and poverty Africa after a tour of the country last year. And with maturity and marriage — Taylor, Isaac and Zac are all now wed, and two have children — has come a profound awakening social consciousness.

They’ve partnered with TOMS shoes, and for every pair sold during the tour, a pair will be donated to children in Africa. Also, all proceeds from the band’s first single, “Great Divide,” from their most recent album, “The Walk,” will go to fund AIDS and HIV research and treatment at hospitals in Africa.

“AIDS is killing more people than any world war. It’s wiping out an entire continent,” Isaac Hanson said in a recent interview. “If we don’t take action, it could get a lot worse than we ever imagined. With the Internet, with instant access to anywhere in the world, our generation can do anything.

“We just need to take that first step.”
