In Friday’s update, Midge conveyed positivity and the hope to resume touring before the year concludes, though he remained vague about his specific comeback date.

‘During a recent routine check-up, doctors discovered a health issue that requires urgent treatment and a period of recovery,’ Midge said.

He said: ‘I know many of you travel great distances, often across borders to attend the shows, and I never take that support for granted. 

‘I’m truly sorry for any inconvenience or disruption this causes to your plans.

‘I am fully committed to carrying out all shows set for this month and am eager to perform with you for as long as possible.’

Midge reassured fans that his A Man of Two Worlds tour, currently scheduled for May and June next year, is still ‘very much going ahead’.

He mentioned, ‘I am aiming to be back on the tour circuit as quickly as possible. My team and I are in close communication with promoters to reorganize the affected dates.’

‘I kindly ask you respect the privacy of myself and my family during this difficult time.’

The star rose to prominence in the early 1980s as frontman of Ultravox and later as co-founder of Band Aid alongside Bob Geldof.

He co-wrote the charity single Do They Know It’s Christmas?, released in 1984 to raise funds for famine relief in Ethiopia, and performed at Live Aid the following year.

Earlier in 2025, Midge reunited with Bob for a 40th anniversary commemoration of the Band Aid initiative. 

His best-known song, Vienna, released in 1981, famously reached No 2 in the UK charts and was kept off the top spot by Shaddap You Face, a novelty single by Joe Dolce.

Fans are advised to check with local promoters for new dates once they are rescheduled.
