Sting and his team announced the news in the form of an Instagram post, in which they wrote, “On advisement from his doctor, due to illness, it is with sincere regret that Sting must cancel his appearance at the Bass Magazine Awards this Thursday and postpone his STING 3.0 concerts.” Per these comments, it’s unclear what illness the musician is suffering from.
Given the rescheduling of these shows, ticket holders will be able to retain their tickets for the newly scheduled shows. Although, it is unclear if they are refundable. The post stated, “Fans should retain their tickets for the postponed shows, as they will be honored on the new dates.” The post concluded, “Sting sincerely apologizes for any inconvenience and extends his gratitude to the fans for their understanding.”

These postponed dates might seem like a lot, however, it is a mere snippet of what is to come. Some of the highlights of their tour include a four-night stint with Billy Joel and an extensive European track.

If he does, the company joining him includes Joni Mitchell, Dave Matthews, John Mayer, Gwen Stefani, Green Day, and so many more. Sting will surely announce his participation in due time, so keep your ear to the ground and your eyes peeled.
