MIDGE URE SHOCKER: 80s Music Icon Cancels Tour Dates Due to Urgent Health Issue
In a bombshell announcement that's left fans reeling, Midge Ure, the legendary frontman of Ultravox and co-founder of Band Aid, has canceled all his upcoming tour dates due to an "urgent" health issue discovered during a routine medical check-up.
The 71-year-old Scottish singer-songwriter, who rose to fame in the early 1980s with hits like "Vienna" and "Dancing With Tears In My Eyes," will go ahead with solo performances scheduled for August, but all shows planned from September onwards have been postponed. The affected concerts include dates in Australia, New Zealand, the US, and Europe.
In a statement shared on Instagram, Midge revealed that doctors discovered a health issue during his recent check-up, which requires urgent treatment and a period of recovery. "It is with great sadness and difficulty that I have to reschedule all shows planned from September onwards," he said.
The news has sent shockwaves among fans, who had been eagerly awaiting the star's return to the stage. Midge reassured them, however, that his A Man of Two Worlds tour, scheduled for May and June next year, is still "very much going ahead." He also promised to perform all shows this month as planned.
"We know many of you travel great distances, often across borders to attend the shows, and we never take that support for granted," Midge said. "I'm truly sorry for any inconvenience or disruption this causes to your plans."
The Ultravox frontman's fans have been quick to offer their well-wishes and support on social media. "Sending much love, strength, and healing to you and your family. Take all the time you need and be gentle with yourself," wrote one fan.
Midge Ure's music career has spanned over four decades, during which he has released numerous hit albums and singles, including the iconic charity single "Do They Know It's Christmas?" co-written with Bob Geldof. The song was released in 1984 to raise funds for famine relief in Ethiopia and remains one of the most successful charity singles of all time.
The 80s music icon also performed at Live Aid in 1985, alongside other legendary acts like Queen and David Bowie. In recent years, Midge has continued to tour and perform, entertaining fans with his unique blend of synth-pop and rock music.
