“It’s with a heavy heart I have to tell you that we have no other choice but to postpone my upcoming tour of South America,” Liam wrote on X. “Over the past week I’ve been in hospital with a serious kidney infection, it’s something I wouldn’t wish on anyone, and doctors orders are that I now need to rest and recover.”

He continued, writing, “I was beyond excited to come play for you guys.”

Liam promised that there were plans in the works to reschedule but made sure to let fans know that they could refund their tickets at the point of purchase. More information on both fronts will be coming soon.
