McCartney leaves Japan after recovering from virus
The former Beatle arrived in Japan on May 15 and was due to play four sold-out dates in Tokyo and Osaka.
But the 71-year-old pop veteran cancelled all his gigs as well as the South Korean leg of the tour, saying he had been taken sick with an undisclosed virus.
The called-off concerts included one at Tokyo’s Nippon Budokan Hall that would have marked his first return to the venue since appearing there with The Beatles in 1966.
The cancellations generated an outpouring of good wishes from fans of the Liverpool-born musician—one of two living members of The Beatles.
