Alex Warren was forced to cancel the Auckland concert due to illness
Alex Warren pulled out of his Auckland concert just hours before showtime after becoming bedridden and unable to speak, leaving the singer “heartbroken” as fans were issued automatic refunds.
Alex Warren was forced to cancel his concert at Auckland’s Spark Arena on Monday night (24.08.26), pulling out just hours before he was due onstage due to illness.
The Ordinary hitmaker - who is currently on his Finding Family on the Road World Tour and gearing up to release his second studio album Wildchild later this week - was left heartbroken after he was left "bedridden" and struggling to "talk let alone sing".
In a social media statement, he said: “I never have to do this and it breaks my heart to even write this but I have to cancel tonight’s show.
“I have tried everything to be able to make this show work and I’m sadly bedridden sick at the moment. I can barely talk let alone sing and it sadly isn’t possible to play tonight’s show.
“I understand what it takes to be able to attend concerts and the fact so many of you travelled for this one has made this decision even more difficult. I love you so much and hope you understand.”
Promoter Frontier Touring wrote: “Alex is devastated to miss the show and has been looking forward to performing for his Auckland fans.
“He sincerely thanks fans for their understanding and support.”
Automatic refunds were given to ticketholders.
