Ben Howard has cancelled his tour and is no longer coming to Vancouver or Canada.
The musician shared the news on social media Tuesday.
“It is with great disappointment that we are sadly having to cancel our upcoming US and Canada IS IT? Tour,” reads the post. “It has been an impossibly difficult decision to arrive at.”
Howard says the cancellation is for ‘personal reasons.’
“We know that many of you will have already made your travel arrangements and will suffer the double disappointment,” reads the post. “We are really sorry to let so many down but hopefully can make it up to you all in 2024.”
The 36-year-old Howard was set to perform in Laval, Toronto and Vancouver at Orpheum Theatre on Nov. 7. All of the shows in the United States have also been cancelled which included Washington, Philadelphia, New York, Boston and Seattle.
All tickets will be automatically refunded, according to the post.
“You will receive email information from point of purchase about this,” reads the post. “Thank you for your understanding.”
Many comments on social media about the news are supportive and offer words of concern.
According to The Guardian, Howard experienced two strokes previously, which caused him to lose his ability to speak.
