The tour – first announced in February – would have seen the singer perform seven shows across Asia between April 17 and April 27. He was set to kick off the tour with three shows in Osaka, Nagoya and Tokyo before heading down to Bangkok, Thailand on April 22. He was then scheduled to perform in Taipei and Kuala Lumpur before closing out the tour at the Star Theatre in Singapore on April 27.

Full refunds are available to ticket-holders from the point of purchase.

Tomlinson’s Asian stops were supposed to be in support of ‘Faith In The Future’, his second album which dropped in late November last year, and comes after dozens of dates already announced across the US, UK and Europe.
