Paul McCartney has come down with a virus in Japan and has been forced to postpone his first show in Tokyo tonight.
McCartney hopes to reschedule the show for this Monday.
UPDATE: The show has been rescheduled for Monday, May 19
In a statement McCartney said, “Thank you for such a beautiful and warm welcome to your country. I’ve unfortunately had to postpone tonight’s show in Tokyo.
“I came down with a virus on Friday and following a visit from doctors, I’ve been told not to perform tonight.
“I am very sorry to all my fans as I was greatly looking forward to the concert, but the situation is out of my hands.
“Along with the doctors, I’m doing all I can to ensure I will be better for tomorrow night’s show and the rest of my time in Japan.
“We are planning to replay this show on Monday. I really hope you can make it.
Love,
Paul”

日本のファンの皆さん、心からの暖かい歓迎を本当にありがとう。
残念ながら今夜の東京での公演を延期しなくてはならなくなりました。
金曜日にウィルス性炎症により体調を崩し、今日のステージは無理だと医師に言われました。
僕もコンサートを楽しみにしていたので、この様になってしまった事を、ファンの皆様に大変申し訳なく思っています。
現在は医師の指示のもと、明日の公演と残りの日本ツアーが予定どおり行われる様に全力を尽くしています。
今夜の公演は月曜日に振り替えることが出来ました。
ご都合が合わない方もいらっしゃるかと思いますが、是非とも皆さんにお会い出来る事を願っています。
Love,
Paul
