Engelbert Cancels UK Tour Due To Illness

Great Glen’s Engelbert Humperdinck has announced the last-minute cancellation of his UK tour due to illness.

The 85-year-old was due to return to the city to perform at De Montfort Hall in Leicester later this month, as part of the long-awaited tour across 14 cities.

But in an announcement to fans, the star revealed he had come down with a “virtual bronchial infection” and was unable to perform.

The singer said in the message: “My Dear Fans. I am so upset in having to relate to you that we have to cancel our UK tour. I have come down with a viral bronchial infection and am being treated for it now.

“This has never happened before and I so much wanted to see all of you in the 14 cities. We are going to reschedule the shows for early next year.”
