[blockquote]I am deeply, deeply saddened to tell my Australian fans, I have to cancel my Australian tour.

I have been vocally exhausted for a while now however last night in Sydney I had a small haemorrhage on my vocal chords. 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. This kills me. I am so sorry to all who have bought tickets, I truly am.

We will be announcing re-arranged dates very shortly. This kills me.[/blockquote]
