“Then we are heading up to one of our favourite places, Scotland for three back to back shows in Dunfermline, Aberdeen and Glasgow.”
Earlier this week the musician told fans: “Thank you so much to everyone for the well wishes, it has truly touched me.
"I’m on the mend and under doctors’ orders to rest so I’ll be recuperating at Theatre of Hate HQ for the next few days and should be able to tread the boards again in Sheffield on Wednesday.

"Seeing how hard they work and knowing how underpaid they are and yet always having a smile on their faces was amazing. We cannot let the Tories or anyone else take it away from us.
“I look forward to seeing you all down the road when this tour resumes. Once again, thank you all.”
