“Unfortunately, Sting is under the weather and has been instructed by his doctor to postpone his scheduled performances on Monday, November 10 at the Seminole Hard Rock Tampa and Tuesday, November 11 at Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, FL,” his second statement read.

While Saturday’s performance was postponed until May 6, 2026, this week’s postponed shows do not currently have confirmed reschedule dates.

Both of ‘Every Breath You Take’ singer’s statements concluded: "Sting very much looks forward to returning to the stage as soon as he is fully recovered.

“He apologizes for any inconvenience and appreciates your understanding.”

Sting’s fans have reacted sympathetically to the singer’s unfortunate announcement, sharing messages of “get well soon” in the comments of his social posts.

The 'Roxanne' star had to similarly cancel several STING 3.0 tour shows in January this year “due to illness,” which was later revealed to be a throat infection.

Those performances were successfully rescheduled and took place across May and June this year.
