Paul McCartney 'Out There' Tour: Rocker Reschedules American Dates Due To Virus

A month after canceling the remaining dates on his Asian tour when he was hospitalized with a virus, Paul McCartney further rescheduled June appearances in America to October.

"I’m sorry but it’s going to be a few more weeks before we get rocking in America again,” McCartney told fans in a statement published on his website Monday. “I’m feeling great but taking my docs' advice to take it easy for just a few more days. Look forward to seeing you all soon.”

McCartney said he’s been told to “rest up just a little bit longer to fully recuperate from the virus that forced the postponement of his recent dates in Japan and Korea.”
