‘I’m absolutely gutted… I’ve not performed since 2019!’: George Ezra forced to reschedule live shows after he falls ill with Chickenpox

George Ezra has been forced to reschedule his upcoming live shows after falling ill with Chickenpox.

The singer, 28, took to Twitter on Tuesday to express his sadness at being unable to perform live gigs for fans for the first time since before the pandemic in 2019.

Apologising to his followers, he told them in a video: ‘As you can see, I’ve got chickenpox, which I never had as a kid and it is miserable. It’s all of the fatigue and fever of the virus but you also want to scratch at your skin all the time.

‘What this means is, I can’t perform at the upcoming shows in Manchester, Edinburgh and London, which I’m absolutely gutted about and recording this video is the last thing I want to be doing.

‘Even on a selfish level, I’ve not performed since 2019 and I was so much looking forward to getting back up there and swinging my hips but it’s just not going to happen and I’m so sorry to all of you that got tickets.

‘The shows will be rescheduled… I hope you’re all well and now more than ever I cannot wait to see you all.

‘I’m going to focus on trying to clear this up and get a bit better and, apologies, see you soon.’

George appeared to be sat in bed as he filmed the clip, with red marks on his skin from the infection.

He captioned his post: ‘Hello. As you can see, I’m pretty under the weather right now with Chickenpox so I’m sorry to say that I’m going to need to move my upcoming shows.
