Sting has postponed three US concerts and canceled an awards appearance due to illness. In a statement published on Instagram on Wednesday, the British rock legend said that “with severe regret” he had canceled an appearance at the Bass Magazine Awards scheduled for Thursday following advice from his doctor.

The British star praised his fans “for all of the well wishes”, signing it off with “love, Sting”. It is not yet known whether he will still perform as expected at the FireAid charity concert on January 30, raising money to rebuild communities devastated by the Los Angeles wildfires and supporting efforts to prevent future fire disasters.
