Former Beatle Paul McCartney has cancelled his Japanese “Out There” tour due to a worsening viral infection and requires complete rest, concert organizers said on Tuesday.
There was no word on what would happen to the rest of his Asian tour. His next show is set for Seoul on May 28.
McCartney, 71, had already cancelled two Tokyo performances but was set to play at the fabled Budokan on Wednesday and in the western city of Osaka on Saturday. He last toured Japan in November for a series of packed concerts.
“I was really looking forward to playing in Japan again after we had such an amazing time here in November,” he said in a statement.
