Sting has postponed multiple concerts due to a temporary throat infection. 

On Tuesday, the veteran musician’s team took to social media to announce the postponement, along with rescheduling information. 

Sting is compelled to cancel his participation in the Bass Magazine Awards and reschedule his STING 3.0 concerts in Phoenix, AZ and Wheatland, CA. The decision was made following advice from his doctor due to his illness. The new dates for the concerts are June 1 in Phoenix and May 28 in Wheatland. Additionally, his performance at the Cherrytree Music Company’s 20th anniversary has been moved to May 29 as a result of this decision.

“Fans should retain their tickets for the postponed shows, as they will be honored on the new dates. Sting sincerely apologizes for any inconvenience and extends his gratitude to the fans for their understanding.”

On Wednesday, Sting thanked his fans for their concern and shared further details regarding his illness. 

“Thanks so much for all of the well wishes,” he wrote on Instagram.

“I am steadily improving from a temporary throat infection which has prevented me from singing, though I’m looking forward to resuming my performances and rescheduled shows soon. Love, Sting”

The announcement was met with a ton of support from fans around the globe. 

“All the way from Mexico city, quick recovery to the King of Sting…,” one user commented.

“Get better Sting!! Sending you positive healing vibes,” another wrote. 

In October 2018, Sting canceled a joint concert with Jamaican singer Shaggy just an hour before the show was supposed to begin in San Francisco due to health reasons.

Sting issued a statement at the time that read: “I’m sorry to have to postpone tonight’s show…but I can barely speak right now. We will reschedule as soon as possible.”
