“After being assessed, it became clear I would not perform that night, and after more tests, I could not perform the rest of the US tour in the time asked. As of now, I have surgery scheduled and need time out to heal.”
“With that said, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the remainder of the North American tour and the UK and European dates,” he continued. “I want nothing more than to bring this show to the fans and perform. Until then, thanks for love, privacy, and support.”
