And Steven added his own statement to the message, in which he assured fans he isn’t in a “life threatening condition”, but needs to receive immediate medical care in order to “maintain [his] future performances”.
He wrote: “To everybody in South America….Brazil, Chile, Argentina and Mexico….I’m very sorry and feel like I’ve let you down..I won’t be able to continue the last four shows of this tour. I flew back to the US on doctor’s orders last night after the show in São Paulo.
“Please not to worry…
“I am not in a life-threatening condition, but I need to deal with this right away and get some rest and medical care immediately in order to sustain and maintain my future performances….I promise I’ll be back…unfortunately, health does not wait and it’s something even I can’t schedule around our shows…..As they say, ‘We humans make plans,
and God laughs….’ I love you all and will be back with you soon..…
