British singer George Michael canceled a series of 9 concerts in Australia.
His anxiety about health is associated with pneumonia experienced last year. The disease was extremely severe, treatment even required a ventilator. The consequences could be very serious: death or loss of voice. Then, in order to go to a hospital in Austria, the singer interrupted his 2011 European tour.
Recently, George Michael apologized to his Australian fans on the official website. ”Today I announced the cancellation of concerts in Australia, which breaks my heart. I can explain at the moment that this is due to last year’s disease. "I tried in vain to make my way through injuries, and the doctors who saved my life warned me not to tempt fate."
“They recommended complete rest with post-traumatic counseling, which is important in my case. I thought (wrongly) that making music and getting the opportunity to perform for the audience, which brings me great joy, would be sufficient therapy for me. "
"Unfortunately, I seriously underestimated how difficult I will have this year."
Michael said that he will seek professional medical help after the end of a series of his current British concerts and hopes to go on tour again soon.
He added: "All I have to do is apologize to my wonderful Australian fans."
The last concert of the singer in the UK is scheduled for October 17.
