“My road to recovery is something I need to seriously address,” he said. “With this in mind, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the remainder of the North American tour, as well as the UK and European dates. … I want nothing more than to bring this show to the fans and perform. Until then, thank you for this.” Love, privacy and support.

After the assessment it became clear that I would not be performing that evening, and after further testing I was unable to complete the remainder of the US tour in the required time. From now on…
