Elvis Costello cancels his tour after the diagnosis and treatment of cancer

A few weeks ago, Elvis Costello was diagnosed with aggressive cancer. As part of the treatment, the 63-year-old British singer-songwriter underwent surgery to eliminate a "small but very aggressive" cancer that would put an end to this disease. However, with the operation also comes a recovery time …

This is the main reason why the musician had to cancel the remaining six concerts of his tour in some European countries as England, Croatia, Austria, Norway and Sweden. In mid-May, when he was operated, he also canceled two concerts in the UK. By a statement posted on his website, Declan Patrick MacManus stated that the doctor recommended to stop his activities to rest and fully recover from the operation n, which could have better results regarding the diagnosis of malignant cancer that affects it.

On his Twitter account, the singer wrote: " Elvis Costello was forced to cancel the remaining six dates of his European tour for medical reasons. His doctor recommended him to do a pause in the route to recover. "
