“Anyone who knows me, knows that performing has always been my favorite part of working in music. However, during times like these, the safety and protection of touring crew, fans, and everyone else around the world is an immediate priority," he wrote on Instagram.

"For obvious reasons, the upcoming tour in the UK and Europe will be rescheduled to 2021.   Tickets already purchased will be valid for these shows. In the meantime, we will be closely monitoring the situation around the world and will continue updating you in the months to come," the 'Adore You' hitmaker added.
