The update comes after his team said the star had been “seeking medical care”. They acknowledged that some fans would have already made plans, including around travel, ahead of the gig and added: “We know many of you were looking forward to the show and may have travelled or made special plans, we truly appreciate your understanding at this time.”
The statement, signed by his team, ended by saying: “Rory will be so upset to have to cancel this show and we’ll be working hard to scheduled a show in Lithuania soon. For ticket refunds, please contact your ticket distributor/the point of ticket sale from which you purchased.”
