Austin Mahone’s “MTV Artist to Watch Tour” has been canceled in the wake of his hospitalization.
“Austin is very ill. Unfortunately we are going to have to postpone the entire MTV Artist to Watch Tour,” the singer’s mother tweeted on Thursday night.
Michele Mahone continued, “Austin is very upset about this & we want to say we are sorry to all the Mahomies & their parents who have made arrangements to come out.”
“We feel very bad but we have no choice but to cancel the tour for now. Thank you for your prayers #PrayforAustin,” she added.
As Gossip Cop reported earlier, Mahone was hospitalized on Thursday, hours after he said he was suffering from a “bad flu” with a 103 fever.
His tour — the singer’s first – was originally set to start today, but the first two dates were postponed Wednesday as Mahone’s illness worsened.
It was scheduled to run through November 1.
Michele posted an Instagram photo of her son (see above right and below) shortly before the announcement, writing, “My poor baby… I cannot remember the last time he was so sick.”
We’ll have updates.
