"I find it very hard to have to address you again with a story like this," Omar wrote in the caption. "I had all the faith and the illusion of being able to close this first stage of our tour, fulfilling the three concerts that we had pending in Ontario, Las Vegas and Salt Lake City."

Omar then revealed that he is unfortunately still dealing with a respiratory infection.

"After returning to the stage this past weekend in California and Arizona, I was confident that my recovery was on track," he explained. "Unfortunately, I have suffered a relapse of the strong respiratory infection that has affected me during these days and, on instructions from my doctor, I must stop again and rest. Keep exposing my health in these conditions would not be responsible."

As the statement continued, Omar admitted that it hurts him to have to postpone his tour again. He noted that he's aware some of his fans have already rearranged plans to attend his shows.

"What hurts me the most is knowing that many of you had already reorganized your plans, your travels and your commitments to accompany me on these new dates. I know what it means to ask you for understanding a second time and believe me it's not something I take lightly."

Don Omar Continued To Apologize in His Statement

Omar's statement then moved on to apologize to his fans. After all, this is the second time he's postponed these tour dates. Both postponements were due to the same illness.

"...I apologize from your heart. My wish remains to be able to meet you again, but today I have to accept that I need time to fully recover. I look forward to being able to reschedule these encounters very soon and return with better news for you."

Omar's dates were scheduled for Tuesday, November 10, in Ontario, California. Wednesday, November 11 in Las Vegas. His final show was set to take place on Friday, November 13 in Salt Lake City.

There has been no update on when the new dates for these shows will be. Hopefully, Omar can take the time he needs to rest and recover from his current illness.
