Shaun Ryder has postponed the rest of his UK tour due to unforeseen circumstances.

The former Happy Mondays frontman was set to play a total of ten shows throughout the UK in February.

Promoters SJM Concerts said in a statement: "Due to unforeseen circumstances, we regrettably have to postpone the Shaun Ryder tour."

"Shaun has suffered with his thyroid condition for a while now, and unfortunately he has been prescribed the incorrect medication which has left unable to continue. We will be re-arranging dates when Shaun is back to full health again."

Fans have been told to hold onto their tickets as the gig is expected to be rescheduled.
