The Weeknd has postponed the Australian and New Zealand leg of his upcoming After Hours Til Dawn tour.

“We have to postpone the Australia/New Zealand tour.” “New dates will be announced next year and the current tickets are for the new shows,” he began.
“A refund will be available for those unable to attend the new dates.” “I am deeply disappointed but can’t wait to be with you.”
