Canadian-American country music star Orville Peck has postponed all his upcoming shows due to his mental and physical health.

The "Take You Back" singer announced the news on social media Wednesday.

He says he needs to replenish his mental and physical health before he can return to his "Bronco" tour and bring audiences his best.

The cancelled shows include performances in Montreal, Ottawa and Edmonton, as well as the Winnipeg Folk Festival. 

The news came the same day that Regina-born singer-songwriter Andy Shauf cancelled his July shows, citing chronic back pain.

The only Canadian date affected is a show in Quebec City on July 13.
