Australian music legend John Farnham has been forced to cancel a run of national tour dates due to a recent illness.

A statement on the singer’s Facebook page confirmed that Farnham would be unable to play By The C in Coolangatta, Geelong, Perth and Wollongong over the next month and a half as he is still recovering.

“We wish John all the very best for a speedy recovery,” promoters Zaccaria said, while stating that tickets will be automatically refunded.

Farnham is still scheduled to perform on the Red Hot Summer Tour later this month, kicking off on March 23 in Batesman Bay; check out theGuide for all the details.
