R. Kelly has postponed his forthcoming European tour due to a throat problem. The "I Believe I Can Fly" hit-maker was due to begin the trek on March 22nd but has now been forced to push back the dates after developing nodules on his vocal cords.

Doctors have ordered him to rest his voice for at least a month.

The singer says in a statement, "I owe it to my fans to give them the best shows possible and right now my voice isn't up to the job."

R. Kelly is due to reschedule the shows later this year.
