“I’m looking forward to getting healthy and seeing you all again soon. Thank you for all your good wishes,” he concluded the announcement.

The group kicked off their tour in October 2023, performing in New Jersey, before heading to the rest of the U.S., according to their website. The tour extended into 2026 with the group scheduled to continue in June and conclude in October before the cancellation news.

The singer last performed on Feb. 22 at the Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, Calif., according to Variety.

The rep, Victoria Varela, told Variety in a statement that he decided to cancel the shows instead of rescheduling them so that fans would not be stuck in limbo with their tickets.

“Promoters want to prolong things and not give people their money back, but he needs to not keep rescheduling these shows,” Varela told the outlet.

“He realized he needed to take a break and get his health in order, and that is the true issue — he wants to get better without prolonging, through the rescheduling process, the pain of people who’ve bought these tickets,” she added.

The “Rag Doll” singer, who received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Grammys in 2025, told PEOPLE the year prior that he intends to continue performing for as long as he can.
