Nesmith has been performing past hits in "The Monkees Present: The Mike & Micky Show" tour with 73-year-old bandmate Micky Dolenz.
The group says shows in Philadelphia, New York and New Jersey will be rescheduled.
The Thursday show was scheduled to take place at the Keswick Theater in Glenside, Pa.
The Monkees were formed in 1965 for a television series and included Peter Tork and Davy Jones. Their hits include "Daydream Believer," ''Pleasant Valley Sunday" and "Last Train to Clarksville."
