Official statement from ANTHONY B: Whole European tour postponed

As feared all of ANTHONY B’s European tour dates throughout October and November have been postponed until March and April 2013.

The reggae singer collapsed on stage at a Dallas nightclub on 6 October and will need at least two months recuperation before hitting the road again.

On 11 October he was released from hospital however his publicist intimated to the Jamaica Observer that some of his upcoming dates would have to be rescheduled.

Here’s an official press statement from the artist: 

“We are very sorry to announce that due to serious illness all shows of the Anthony B Freedom Fighter on Tour 2012 have been cancelled. Anthony B collapsed after the show in Dallas, Texas last Tuesday and it appears to be more serious than dehydration and exhaustion as the first diagnose said. We've been waiting with official statement until 15th of October for doctors final decision, hoping that Anthony can do part of the tour. Yesterday we got the confirmation that he needs to rest for at least 2 months! We hope that he will feel much better soon and we're already working to re-schedule the tour to March and April 2013.”

The remaining UK dates on the tour were:

• 28 Oct - Electric, Brixton
• 07 Nov - Wembley Arena
