Having postponed Saturday's concert in Ipswich with one day's notice, singer-songwriter Gilbert O'Sullivan has he is "extremely sorry".
He said: "I have been pushing myself and singing with a cold the last few nights, and because of this I now have a chest infection and am unable to sing.
"I apologise for any inconvenience caused as the last thing I want to do is let you all down.
"I hope with some rest I will be back on my feet in time for York."

The family of Douglas Lamond has been reacting to the narrative verdict delivered at the inquest into his death.
The 86-year-old from Felixstowe, who was registered blind, died of a heart attack after he was issued with drugs for diabetes, rather than his regular prescribed medicine to treat his high blood pressure.
The coroner said he died as the result of "a very significant accidental dispensing error".
Image source, PA/Lamond familyMr Lamond's daughter Dianne Moore said in a statement: "After almost five years I am glad to finally have the circumstances of my father's tragic and traumatic death in the open.
"He certainly never expected such carelessness and breach of duty of care from Boots.
"We would not wish any other family to go through such a devastating experience."
The chemist Boots said it had "shared the learnings from this incident to help prevent this happening in the future".
Det Supt Andy Smith from Suffolk Police said: "The fact that Mr Lamond was seriously visually-impaired meant he was almost totally reliant on healthcare professionals taking the requisite care in the preparation of life-dependant medication, and staff who had prepared the medication acknowledged mistakes had been made."
Many sharp-eyed people will have noticed that BBC reports from the inquest into the death of Douglas Lamond featured a misspelt sign outside the Coroner's Court, external .
We understand the sign, at the offices on Egerton Road, in the Whitehouse area of Ipswich, has been removed.
1) Ed Sheeran is going to be in Game of Thrones.
After dominating the entire singles and album charts last week we asked; Where next for Ed Sheeran?
Well how about Winterfell, Dorne or perhaps (given his recent fictional run-in with some royals ) King's Landing?
The GoT producers have confirmed Ed Sheeran will make a cameo appearance in the seventh series.
In other words...Ginger is coming.
New-found actor Ed showed he can do comedy as well as fantasy drama this week in this Red Nose Day sketch with Korrupt FM below.

The mother of missing girl Kennedy Palmer says after conversations with her daughter's friends, she fears she may have met someone online.
Nicola Palmer said: "I asked her friends and they think she'd been talking to a boy on the internet. It really scares me that she might have gone off and met somebody.
Image source, Nicola PalmerShe revealed she was beside herself with worry and had been driving around the estates of Ipswich and Woodbridge looking for her until the early hours of this morning.
She also said her disappearance was out-of-character and that there had been no row or argument.
Kennedy is white, around 5ft 3ins tall (1.6m), of slim build and has a distinctive hairstyle, with long hair on one side and shaved on the other side.
Police say her hair is now brown all over, so slightly different from some of the photographs of her. She was wearing a light blue T-shirt, navy jumper and dark trousers when she was last seen.
Meanwhile police say work is being carried out to locate her, but ask that anyone who might have seen her or with any information call them on 101.
Gilbert O'Sullivan has cancelled his concert at Ipswich's Corn Exchange, external on Saturday.
O'Sullivan, 70, who had a string of hits in the 1970s, has a serious cold and chest infection.
It's been rescheduled for Sunday, 10 September.
Image source, Getty ImagesThe mother of a teenage girl missing from her home in Kesgrave since yesterday morning says she's beside herself with worry.
Kennedy Palmer, 15, was last seen at 08:00 on Thursday when she left for school, and she didn't arrive there.
Her mother Nicola says her disappearance is completely out of character.
She said: "She was in a great mood, it's been really strange, we don't even understand why she's gone or what's happened. She's been really good, there wasn't any argument.
Image source, Nicola Palmer"I've been awake all night - I didn't get home until 01:00 this morning, I've been driving around looking for her.
"I've been around Martlesham and Woodbridge, I've asked all the friends, and all the boys she hangs around with, and the police know.
"I'm just so worried."
A surge in knife crime in Ipswich is down to a "turf war", according to the county's Police and Crime Commissioner.
Tim Passmore made the comments to the county council's full meeting. He'd been questioned on the recent high profile crimes in the town.
Mr Passmore told councillors he shared their concerns, and admitted there'd been a surge in knife crime in Ipswich. He said some of it was a turf war between different groups and linked to drugs.
He went on to say the police with working with the National Crime Agency and police forces in London, as well as the Transport Police to understand what was going on.

Earlier this week, you may remember we mentioned that you, humble taxpayers, are still paying for the regional fire control centre that never was .
The Waterbeach headquarters would have answered all emergency fire calls from Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Hertfordshire and north Essex.
However, the project was abandoned in 2010 after the coalition government determined the "requirements of the project cannot be delivered to an acceptable timeframe".
The Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) initially refused to comment on why it had failed to let the building.
However, we've now finally got a breakdown of exactly how our money is being used to support this ongoing venture.
The total costs in 2015-16 were:
Total: £1,678,714.86 = £4,599 a day
Yep, going on for £2m a year.
Image source, ThinkstockWe asked the DCLG to comment on the figures. We especially wanted to know why £26,000 of electricity was being used each year when no-one was there, but they wouldn't.
With another 14 years left on the lease, the final spend will dwarf the millions spent so far on a service which has never been used.
White elephant? You decide...

David McGoldrick and Tom Lawrence both returned to training on Wednesday and should be ok.
One definite absentee is Emyr Huws who isn't eligible to play against his parent club, although he's also been struggling with a tight hamstring.
Cardiff's Bruno Manga could be in their team for the first time since January after he injured himself while on African Nations Cup duty for Gabon.
