McCartney cancels two more Tokyo shows

Illness has forced Paul to cancel his second Tokyo concert this week, along with a makeup show he'd planned to perform tomorrow.

UPDATED: The cancellations mean Paul will need to reschedule any Japan dates until later in the year, or after that. He's set to play next week in Korea and will then tour the United States.

Tokyo National Stadium shows to be postponed 18th & 19th May

Doctors have ordered Paul complete rest and he has been doing all he can to get better. Paul has only ever had to reschedule a handful of shows in his entire career and is so upset about this situation, he hates to let people down. This morning he told his staff he was going to try and perform tonight against doctors orders, but his team, along with the doctors, wouldn't allow it. He has been very moved by the fan's reactions and messages of love and support he has received in Japan.

Paul has instructed his team to look at rescheduling options.

Message from Paul:

"Thank you so much for your kind messages of support. I’m so very touched. Unfortunately my condition has not improved overnight. I was really hoping that I'd be feeling better today. I'm so disappointed and sorry to be letting my fans down.

Love,

Paul"
