Marti Pellow 'heartbroken' as he cancels tour following 'strict orders' from doctor

Scots singer Marti Pellow has had to cancel his upcoming tour after being ordered by a doctor to rest.

The former Wet Wet Wet frontman was due to head out on his 'Pellow Talk' tour but has been told by health professionals that he must not continue and rest immediately.

The 58-year-old took to social media to let his fans know the disappointing news.

He wrote: "Hi everyone, it is with an incredibly heavy heart that I must announce the cancellation of the Pellow Talk tour. Acting under strict orders from my doctors, I have been instructed not to continue, but to take a period of immediate rest.

"I am deeply disappointed and truly sorry to have to cancel the tour. My crew and I have been working hard to bring you an unforgettable experience, and it breaks my heart that we won't be able to share it with you.

"However, I must prioritise my health and listen to my doctors' orders. It's not an easy decision, but it's the right one. Every day I feel a little better and I promise to do everything in my power to get back to full strength as soon as possible.

"Ticket-holders should contact local venues for refunds from their point of purchase. I understand that this may be disappointing news, and I want you to know that I am just as disappointed as you are.

"Thank you for your continued support. I hope to see you all soon. Love to love Marti x."

And many fans took to the comments to say they were also gutted.

One fan penned: "Aww, we feel so devastated for you Mart, we know you've been working so hard to put these shows on for us, but you must follow your doctor's advice.

"We'll still be still be here for you when you're well again, but take your time, don't be in a rush, you must look after yourself. The shows can be put on again next year, the venues will still be there, but we can't replace you, so don't worry about us, just think about yourself."

Another added: "Sending love and hugs please get better take care of you that’s the most important thing. we will all be waiting for you on your return .xx."
