Singer-songwriter Dan Sultan has postponed his current solo tour, after apologising for “inexcusable” behaviour at a recent show in Cairns.
In a statement, Sultan’s management say the tour has been postponed, but will hopefully be rescheduled.
“We apologise to Dan’s fans for any inconvenience this may cause,” they say.
“Dan’s health and wellbeing is our highest priority at this time and we thank you for your ongoing understanding and support.
“We hope to reschedule the postponed dates once Dan makes a full recovery. While we encourage fans to hold onto their tickets which will be valid for entry to the rescheduled shows, the option to secure a refund is also available via the ticketing outlet or venue from which tickets were purchased.”
Yesterday, Sultan released a statement of his own, describing his performance as “inexcusable and disrespectful”, after he was allegedly intoxicated while on stage.
“I want to apologise to all of my fans, particularly those who were at the Cairns show on Saturday night,” he said.
“My behaviour was inexcusable and disrespectful. I’d also like to extend an apology to the staff at Tanks Arts Centre for what occurred. I am taking stock of my personal situation and am seeking professional help.”
