Chris Brown Cancels Canadian Gigs

Chris Brownhas been forced to cancel four gigs in Canada due to his recent 'personal and health-related issues.'

 

The Don't Think They Know singer - who was recently given 1,000 more hours of community service for violating terms of his probation - will no longer headline Energy/Summer Rush Canadian concert series.

 

Brown's decision to axe the shows means the event - which was due to kick off in Winnipeg on August 29 - has been postponed until next year.

 

Promoter Stephen Tobin said in a statement: "After ongoing conversation and consultation with this year's headline act Chris Brown, and in light of the performer's recent personal and health-related issues, a decision has been made to cancel all four scheduled performances.

 

"In the absence of a festival headliner, we cannot proceed. We will start planning immediately for next year's events and the Energy/Summer Rush series will be back in 2014, bigger and better than ever."

 

Breezy's publicist Nicole Perna also noted: "Chris appreciates the support of his many thousands of fans north of the border.

 

"He is going to use this time to focus on himself and on the release of his upcoming album. Chris looks forward to performing in Canada very soon."

 

Earlier this month, the 24-year old suffered a seizure while working in the studio, with a rep for Brown stating that it was " due to the continued onslaught of unfounded legal matters and the nonstop negativity."
