The artist said on December 13, 2017: “Due to unforeseen family circumstances, I deeply regret having to cancel all my upcoming work projects.
This unfortunately includes my upcoming standup tour, Dance for Life shows and any outstanding live work commitments.
‘My sincere apologies. This decision was not taken lightly and I am sure you will understand that my family must always come first.”
He was previously slated to make a comeback with the Dance For Life series of shows to raise money for Cancer Research UK in April and May 2020.
But the events had to be postponed last March due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
