The singer Morrissey is being treated for “physical exhaustion” after cancelling a number of dates on his current tour.
His tour manager said on Saturday he had been told to rest for two weeks.
“Morrissey is receiving medical supervision for physical exhaustion. He has been ordered to rest and will remain in Zurich,” said a post on the singer’s Instagram page, attributed to tour manager Donnie Knutson.
The former Smiths frontman had been due to play at the Honda Centre in Anaheim, California, on Friday, and at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on Saturday.
