Richard Marx, the legendary American singer-songwriter known for hits like Right Here Waiting and Hazard, has announced the cancellation of his much-anticipated 2025 European tour. The news comes as a disappointment to fans across Europe who were eagerly awaiting his live performances after his recent album’s success.
In a heartfelt statement shared on his social media platforms, Marx revealed that health concerns were the primary reason behind the decision. While the exact nature of his health issues has not been disclosed, he assured fans that it was a necessary step to prioritize his well-being. “It breaks my heart to make this decision, but after consulting with my doctors and loved ones, I realize it’s the right thing to do. My health has to come first,” Marx wrote.
The European tour, originally slated to begin in April 2025, included stops in major cities such as London, Paris, Berlin, and Rome. Tickets for the shows had sold out quickly, reflecting Marx’s enduring popularity and the anticipation surrounding his live performances.
Fans have expressed a mix of disappointment and support, flooding his social media pages with messages of encouragement. Many have praised Marx for prioritizing his health and urged him to take the time needed to recover fully.
While this marks a setback for his 2025 plans, Marx hinted at a potential rescheduling of the tour once his health permits. “I promise this isn’t goodbye. I’ll be back as soon as I’m able to give you the show you deserve,” he added.
This isn’t the first time the 60-year-old artist has faced challenges during his decades-long career, but his resilience and dedication to his craft remain unwavering. Fans across the globe are hopeful for his swift recovery and eagerly await updates about his return to the stage.
