NI singer-songwriter Ryan McMullan has announced he is postponing the release of his new album.
The Co Down man took to social media on Monday to tell fans that he would not be releasing his 'Redesign' album this year - a decision he called "incredibly difficult".
The news comes just weeks after the singer cancelled his upcoming tour due to his mental health. In a post on August 10, Ryan said that the album would still be released on August 26 ahead of his CHSq gig in Belfast.

Today he has announced that he will be "signing off for a little while", a reference to one of his biggest hits 'Letting Go For a Little While'.
The post read: "Hey everyone,
"Firstly, I want to say a huge thank you for all the love and support messages this past week. It's really meant a lot and I appreciate you all for understanding and sticking by me.
"After speaking with my team, we have decided to delay the release of the album until 2023. This was an incredibly difficult decision to make, but with having spent a lot of time, money and effort on the project, we want it to have the best and most deserving release it can, with shows and performances to welcome it into the world.
"Thank you again for all of your understanding and patience."
Ryan is still set to perform at Custom House Square this Saturday and his gig at the Millennium Forum in Derry in November will also go ahead as planned.
