Randy Newman has postponed all of his upcoming UK and European shows.
The concerts were set to take place in February, but the singer-songwriter revealed in a statement that he has undergone major neck surgery and needs to focus on his rehabilitation. According to the post, new tour dates will be announced soon.
"Recently, I noticed I was shrinking. People over whom I had towered now towered over me. Could this be payback for having written Short People?" Newman wrote. "Turns out, my neck was broken. They operated on me successfully, I think. For even now, I look less like an anteater and more like a folk rock artist from the early ’60s. But the doctor said I’m not quite ready to tour. I was really looking forward to coming to Europe to perform. I miss performing a great deal and I look forward to a time when I can come. I’m sorry I won’t see you this time but I will see you soon."
The dates were originally announced in 2019 and scheduled to happen in 2020 but were moved to 2022 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Unfortunately, due to ongoing recovery from his most recent surgery, Randy Newman is unable to safely travel or perform; therefore his European tour must be postponed. pic.twitter.com/9Gwjh8ggvR
