The former Doctor Who star was set to perform songs from his most recent album at The Bridgewater Hall on February 2 on the first leg of his Centre Stage tour. However, the entertainer said that it is ‘no longer economically viable’ to go on the road.
“Personally I am devastated and like many people I have found the last years extremely difficult, possibly the hardest few years of my life. When it gets tough it is sometimes better to stop and re-evaluate and that is exactly what I am going to do. I am so sorry to all my fans,” he concluded the post.
