@My sincerest apologies. This decision has not been taken lightly and I'm sure you'll understand my family must always come first. I’ve always endeavoured to protect my family's privacy from the media. I hope the media and the public will continue to respect our privacy at this time. Once again, I'm very sorry." We’re so excited to see him back on tour!
