Ringo Starr has been forced to cancel his entire North American tour after testing positive for Covid for the second time in just two weeks.
The Beatles legend, 82, said that his fans were "as surprised as he was" after he broke the news on Thursday.
It comes just three days after Sir Ringo said he was “on the road again” after recovering from his previous brush with coronavirus.
“I’m sure you’ll be as surprised as I was I tested positive again for Covid,” he wrote, sharing a picture of himself on Twitter.
“The rest of the tour is off. I send you peace and love, Ringo.”
Sir Ringo’s previous positive test was confirmed by his representative, who said that he would be recovering at home.
He and his All Starr band had been forced to cancel shows in Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Lethbridge, Abbotsford, Penticton, Canada and the Mystic Lake Casino in Minnesota, due to the positive test.
This comes after the songwriter took to Instagram to proudly share a negative covid test after his first bout of the virus.
He thanked his fans for their patience and gave them to peace sign.
"On the road again I will see you in Seattle on Tuesday the 11th Portland Wednesday I am negative peace and love everybody thanks for waiting. Ringo," he captioned the snap.
He's not had much luck with this tour, which was originally postponed in 2020 due to the Covid pandemic.
It resumed on September 23 in Bridgeport, Connecticut and was set to finish on October 20 in Mexico City.
The nine-time Grammy winner celebrated his 82nd birthday by hosting his annual Peace and Love party in Beverly Hills, California.
The party came just weeks after he made history as the first member of The Beatles to auction off a collection of NFT digital artwork.
The starting bid for all five pieces of art was $1,000 - which included animated videos of his drumming.

In a statement Ringo wrote: "I only ever wanted to be a drummer yet you never know where a new idea of path will lead you."
"This new technology is so far out it's inspired me and I loved creating these NFTs combining my art and my music. Who'd have thought I would be spreading peace and love in the metaverse."
A portion of the money went to The Lotus Foundation, a charity which advances social welfare in areas like cerebral palsy, cancer, domestic abuse, homelessness and animals in need.
