Tim Minchin has announced on Twitter that he is postponing his upcoming shows in Sydney, Newcastle, Melbourne, and Brisbane.
"We've no real choice, I'm afraid," he said.
Minchin went on to say he is "Gutted for my audiences who have saved & traveled. And for my band & crew who lose work. And for the venues & promoter. And for myself, cos I HATE not delivering."
A reschedule date has yet to be announced.
We are hustling to reschedule. The ticket agency will be emailing on Monday to confirm the postponement, & though I don't know if we'll have new dates by then, pls know we are trying our hardest! Lots of love. Don't panic, wash ya hands, & don't take ya sniffle to your Gran's.
