The tour commenced on February 28 and was planned to run till April 11 with 22 shows across major cities in Canada and United States, including New York and Atlanta.
The Skelewu crooner had already taken in sold out shows some major cities including Vancouver, Las Vegas and Los Angeles.
But as the world grapples with the outbreak of the deadly virus, the singer was forced to announced suspension the tour indefinitely.
He took to his verified Twitter handle to announce the suspension citing the need to ensure the safety of his fans and staff as reason for halting the tour
”I am saddened to halt what has been a fantastic sold-out tour so far, but postponing is the right thing to do. The health and safety of my fans and staff is most paramount and nothing else matters. Be safe and see you all soon! God be with us all,” he wrote.
