“I have been vocally exhausted for a while now however last night in Sydney I had a small haemorrhage on my vocal cords. The doctors have told me I need to fully rest until my vocal chords have healed, otherwise this could become a huge long-term issue.

“I am so sorry to all who have bought tickets, I truly am. This kills me.”

The following dates are those due to be canceled:

• April 28 – Hordern Pavilion, Sydney
• April 30 – Margaret Court Arena, Melbourne
• May 1 – AEC Theatre, Adelaide, SA
• May 4 – HBF Stadium
