The singer Chris Brown has canceled four scheduled appearances in Canada, the CBC reported. Mr. Brown was to be the headliner at the Energy Rush festival, with stops in Halifax, Toronto, Saint John and Winnipeg. In a statement, Stephen Tobin, owner of Drop Entertainment Group, which is producing the events, said the decision was made “in light of the performer’s recent personal and health-related issues.â€
Because the event cannot proceed without a headline act, Mr. Tobin said, the Energy Rush festival shows will be postponed until next year.
On Friday, a judge reinstated Mr. Brown’s probation, which had been revoked after a request from prosecutors, who questioned whether the singer had completed previously ordered community service. Under the terms of his probation, Mr. Brown must complete 1,000 hours of community service. The singer is also recovering from a seizure he suffered recently.
