Man that sucks. He sounded fine last night as far as I can tell, so that's a pretty fast diagnosis of laryngitis ...

If it was poor ticket sales could he not have downgraded the venues to toilet cubicles?

C'mon Richie, your fan needs you!

Really find this hard to believe. I really feel for the American audience that had tickets.

Last night I have never seen Richie looking or sounding so well. You could tell he was loving it.

Very strange. Hope he is alright.

Weird how the USA shows were not sold out yet Europe they sell out within minutes. Really never thought that would happen. Would have thought it was the other way round if anything.

That bites. I'm really sorry for everyone who had made travel plans for the shows, especially those that bought airline tickets.

If it turns out the shows are canceled "due to obligations with the band" then I think it will be safe to assume that it really was due to low ticket sales. Blaming the band would be the best way for him to save face. I really find it hard to believe the sales are that bad considering these are small venues in major markets though.

What a shame for the fans. I hope everyone will get their shows eventually.

From his twitter account:
"Hey everyone, really bummed I gotta cancel Philly, NY, and Toronto shows. I blew my throat out. I'll make it up to you guys..."

These shows are now cxled and not postponed. Refunds are happening automatically and at first you could either get a refund or hold onto the ticket for the future date when they were calling it a "postponement"

Luke twittert "postponed", Richie twitter "cancelled".

Richie already had a cold in Amsterdam. Maybe this damaged his throat and voice now.

Yes, but from all reports he was in great form last night? Not buying it for a second.
