Sting announced that he’s been forced to cancel a handful of upcoming shows due to an unspecified illness.
The 67-year-old announced the news on Twitter, revealing that his doctor instructed him to take the time off from performing. The news came hours after the former Police frontman called off a show in Munich, Germany, Wednesday evening.

His official website details how those who already bought tickets to the shows can get their refunds. It does not seem as though any of the concerts will be rescheduled.
Representatives for Sting did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment.
In October 2018, Sting canceled a joint concert with Jamaican singer Shaggy just an hour before the show was supposed to begin in San Francisco due to health reasons. Sting issued a statement at the time that read: “I’m sorry to have to postpone tonight’s show…but I can barely speak right now. We will reschedule as soon as possible.”
