Queen
guitarist
Brian May
has cancelled his
Christmas Candlelight Tour
dates with
West End
star
Kerry Ellis
. The 69-year-old
guitarist
was scheduled to perform 11 dates across the UK, but has been forced to pull out due to a 'persistent illness', which he says is 'destroying my energy and my will', reported Contactmusic.
In a statement on his official website, May said, "This is a decision I've agonised over, but in the end it has become inevitable. I managed to complete the recent Queen and Adam Lambert dates in Asia but I have been increasingly battling with a persistent illness which is destroying my energy and my will."
Listen to music by Brian May on Gaana.com"I am now at the point where I don't feel confident to perform the scheduled shows to the standard we all expect. I've been strongly advised to rest and heal, rather than go out and risk 'falling down on the job' out there, which would be a real tragedy."
Ellis and May are due to release new studio album '
Anthems II
' in March.
