Hyro Da Hero has postponed his UK/ Ireland tour citing "personal reasons". The American rapper/ producer was due over in the UK at the end of next month, with his tour due to start at Sheffield's Corporation on 29th October.

The 14-date tour was due to visit Glasgow, Cardiff, Manchster, Birmingham, Dublin, Belfast and London amongst others. No new dates have yet been announced, but the rapper had this to say:

Hey Guys. Unfortunately due to some personal issues I will not be able to come to the UK and Ireland in October and November. I am not canceling the tour - just postponing it for a couple months. I am really excited to come back and rock with you all! See you in a few months.
