Charlie Puth has cancelled the remaining dates on his 'don't talk' tour

 

The 24-year-old singer has pulled out of shows in Nashville, St. Louis, Philadelphia, Denver and Los Angeles because he is "extremely sick" and needs to rest.

He tweeted: "Unfortunately I have to cancel the remaining dates on my 'Don't Talk' tour. This is the last thing I want to do because I love being on the road performing and meeting every one of you. You are the reason I can do what I love most for a living and I am so thankful.

I have been extremely sick pushing through these dates and haven't taken the time my body needs to recover. Resting and taking time off the road is the only way I can get better and start performing for you again.

I promise I will do whatever I can to make it up to you. I love you so much. I'm deeply sorry. Charlie."

Earlier this month, Charlie tweeted a picture of himself sick in bed after he had to pull out of a show because he had the flu and had lost his voice.

Meanwhile, the star admitted he used to "cringe" if he hit a flat note while performing but no longer worries about sounding perfect live as his "energy" can carry him through.
