‘I’ve cried a lot of thankful and happy tears during the last few days. I know how fortunate I am to still be here. All of my vitals are good, but walking and moving around is still a challenge.
‘I’m getting progressively better though and will be at 100% really soon. The doctors have advised we reschedule our upcoming shows in Australia and New Zealand to fast track my recovery.’
‘For those of you that have purchased a ticket for Aus/NZ, hold onto them and the new dates will be released shortly,’ he continued.
‘Thank you for understanding. this experience has only intensified the feelings of purpose I have, so I can’t wait to heal up and get back to it. All other tour dates are staying the same.
