Mary J. Blige has postponed her tour of Australia and New Zealand until later in the year due to exhaustion.

Mary was set to invade Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Auckland and Wellington between June 10th and June 17th.

“I want to thank all of my wonderful fans who supported the announcement of my first tour in these countries and I can’t tell you how excited I was to come down in June and put on a show for you all,” Mary said in an apology to her fans on Friday.

“Postponing these shows has been an extremely difficult decision for me and I am sincerely sorry that I will not be able to fulfil my tour commitments, but I assure you that the November shows will be well worth the wait.”
