Lenny Kravitz cancels rest of Canadian tour

Lenny Kravitz has cancelled the remaining dates on his Canadian tour after coming down with a throat illness.

In a message posted on his [url=Myspace]Myspace[/url] page, the announcement cited a throat illness so severe that the singer cannot even currently speak.

The message reads:

“It with great regret that Lenny Kravitz has had to cancel the remainder of his Canadian tour. Lenny is suffering from severe throat problems that have resulted in him not being able to sing or even talk.”

Kravitz is expected to visit Canada on his World Tour next year.

The Canadian tour experienced difficulties from the start, when it was forced to start three days late last month due to travel conflicts.
