The "vocally exhausted" singer said he was "deeply saddened" to cancel the tour due to doctor's orders. He added that he'd suffered from a "vocal haemorrhage" and is required to rest in order to prevent it from becoming a long-term issue.

Tour promoter Frontier has announced the tour will be rescheduled for December.

Rest up, Sam!
