Minchin admitted his reluctance to cancel the original shows, but said he had “no real choice”.
“I’m gutted for my audiences who have saved & travelled. And for my band & crew who lose work. And for the venues & promoter. And for myself, cos I HATE not delivering,” Minchin wrote on social media.
Minchin had also been scheduled to perform at Splendour In The Grass in July, which has since been postponed.
Tickets to Minchin’s cancelled 2020 solo shows will be valid for his 2021 dates. Those unable to attend the new shows are eligible for a refund.
