British musician Sting (71) is postponing four of his concerts in Germany at short notice because of an illness. This was announced by the organizer Live Nation on Saturday evening. The performance in Hamburg this Sunday and the concerts in Leipzig (Monday), Cologne (Wednesday) and Oberhausen (Thursday) are affected.
“Unfortunately, Sting fell ill at short notice and is therefore unable to perform,” the statement said. No further details were given. The Hamburg Barclays Arena wrote on its website: “On urgent medical advice, Sting – to his great regret – has to postpone his upcoming performances.”
According to the organizer, the fans should keep their tickets. The performances should be made up for next year. As a spokeswoman said in the evening of the German Press Agency, these were concerts that had already been postponed. Open-air concerts planned for next year are not affected.
