The singer is hospitalised in Florida

Lenny Kravitz is postponing his forthcoming European tour due to severe illness.

The singer checked into Mount Sinai Hospital in Miami earlier this week to treat bronchitis as well as severe dehydration and fatigue.

Kravitz was scheduled to play dates in London and Brussels next week and throughout Europe into March, but the dates have been cancelled and are expected to be rescheduled in the coming weeks.

"I would like to apologize to my fans in Europe," Kravitz said in a statement. "I am extremely disappointed that I am not able to come to Europe to see everyone and also perform. Unfortunately I need to take this time to rest and get healthy and so I was forced to make this decision."
