Paul McCartney has postponed a number of US tour dates, as he continues to recover a virus which saw him hospitalised in Tokyo, Japan last month.

Writing on his official website, McCartney said: “I’m sorry but it’s going to be a few more weeks before we get rocking in America again. I’m feeling great but taking my docs’ advice to take it easy for just a few more days. Look forward to seeing you all soon.”

The tour will resume in Albany on July 5.

The shows continue through to mid-August, before picking up again in October.
