Sad news for all the Mahomies out there! 17-year old pop sensation Austin Mahone posted a photo of himself in a hospital gown on Instagram, with the caption “I’ve never felt so bad.” His representative confirmed that he was rushed to the hospital on Thursday morning.
Originally, he Tweeted that he was just going to have to postpone last week’s kick-off show in Miami and Friday’s performance in Orlando; he stated, “It’s Dr’s orders. I have a bad flu, 103 fever, and I can’t move. If I could go I would!” Fans were obviously disappointed, but messages of support and encouragement flooded his post.
Recently, though, his spokesperson has issued an official statement that said “Due to illness, Austin Mahone will have to postpone his sold-out MTV Artist to Watch Presents Tour until 2014.” He is apparently on strict orders to stay on rest and was told to reschedule the dates of his tour. Ticketholders for all shows on the tour will be notified of the new dates as soon as they are available.
Having been so excited about going on tour for the past few months, Mahone is understandably upset. He Tweeted later, “I can’t believe this is happening its my first tour I’m so upset. I feel like I’m letting you all down.” This would have been his first headline tour, after originally opening for Taylor Swift for some of her concert dates last year.
The young star has been busy preparing for the debut of his first album and releasing hit singles “What About Love” and “Say Somethin.” He is currently signed to Young Money Entertainment.
