“I’m sorry to cancel my tour, but I have a breathing problem that I need to have a doctor check out,” Nelson wrote. “I’ll be back.”

By Thursday afternoon, his publicist, Elain Shock, said only the August dates of the 30-show tour have been canceled.

Shock said Nelson is back in Texas, being seen by a doctor and resting. She said Nelson plans to be back on stage for the Sept. 6 show in Gilford, New Hampshire, and continue the remainder of the tour.

Nelson has a concert scheduled at the Smart Financial Centre in Sugar Land on Nov. 18.
