Avicii has cancelled his upcoming scheduled performances, and Billboard has confirmed that the cause of cancellation is health concerns. The DJ was planning to headline TomorrowWorld, to perform as part of a residency in Las Vegas, and briefly tour Asia in October.
According to reports, Avicii has had trouble with his stomach and pancreas for a number of years. He was hospitalized in 2012 with acute pancreatitis, and cancelled his Ultra Music Festival appearance in 2013 to have his gall bladder and appendix removed. At the time, Avicii said, “my fans know that I have had issues in the past with my stomach and pancreatitis…I woke up on Wednesday morning with serious pain but I flew to Miami anyway, hoping that it would go away.”
Avicii has yet to comment on the cancelled shows, but Billboard reports that the DJ will return to Stockholm, Sweden to recover. Get well soon Avicii!
