The latest cancellation follows the scrapping all of McCartney’s scheduled dates in Japan earlier this week after he contracted a virus.

McCartney postponed two dates in Tokyo over the weekend, explaining that he had come down with a virus and was told by doctors not to perform on the evening of May 17. A message on his website confirms the cancelled tour with doctors ordering him to have a “complete rest” and that he “hates to let people down”.

McCartney’s next scheduled gigs are a 19-date US tour beginning in June.
