DJ Steve Aoki has cancelled five European performances while he undergoes throat surgery.

Aoki was due to perform in Spain on May 25 and then do shows in the Netherlands and UK before returning to Spain.

In a Facebook post he wrote, “I’m deeply saddened to share some terrible news with you guys. For the past 20 years, all the screaming at my shows have severely messed up my vocal chords. As a result, I have to get surgery or else I cannot even speak anymore. I’ve prolonged this surgery for quite some time and the doc said its now or never. Because of this, I unfortunately have to cancel some of the shows listed below in Europe. I apologize to everyone who has been waiting to see me perform. I will make it up to all of you very soon! I promise. Thanks for understanding. Love you all!”

The cancelled shows are:
MAY 25 – Aoki’s Playhouse – Ibiza, Spain
MAY 30 – Emporium Festival – Wijchen, Netherlands
MAY 31 – We Are Fstvl – Upminster, United Kingdom
May 31 – Northern Lights – Newscastle, United Kingdom
June 1 – Aoki’s Playhouse- Ibiza, Spain

Aoki has released three albums. His latest ‘Neon Future II’ was released this week (May 12, 2015).
