The 71-year-old former Beatle had planned to hold concerts in Japan and South Korea as part of his world tour.
Seoul-based Hyundai Card Co. Ltd. issued a statement Wednesday citing McCartney as saying he’s “sorry to be letting fans down,” and that he hopes to visit South Korea soon.
The statement said McCartney was still not feeling better and the cancellation was unavoidable.
