When you feel weird about yourself, sit down!”He then joked about the situation: “Now, I want you to know that this is the first time in the history of ‘Dancing on the Ceiling’ that I’ve sat down to finish it. That’s a bad sign, y’all.” He then took an early break before saxophonist Dino Sordo took to the stage to announce that Ritchie would not be able to return to the stage due to health issues.Subsequently, the agency stated on its website that the upcoming tour dates would be postponed to take care of the singer’s health.
