John Edwards will emerge from seclusion and speak next month at Hofstra University in New York, taking the stage exactly one month after admitting to an extramarital affair.

But his wife Elizabeth has canceled what was to be a joint
appearance.

Hofstra spokesman Stuart Vincent said Friday that a
representative for the former Democratic presidential candidate has
confirmed that Edwards will speak alone at the school on Sept. 8.

Edwards and his wife were originally billed as the first
speakers in a university series on the 2008 election. But that was
before Edwards admitted to cheating on Elizabeth with a filmmaker
hired by his political action committee.

A spokeswoman for John and Elizabeth Edwards did not immediately
return a phone call seeking comment.
