Ringo Starr has canceled the rest of his North American tour after he was diagnosed with COVID-19 for a second time.

“I’m sure you’ll be as surprised as I was I tested positive again for Covid the rest of the tour is off I send you peace and love Ringo,” the Beatles legend tweeted.

The latest update comes as a surprise to Starr’s fans, as the musician and his band got back on the road just earlier this month after his first COVID diagnosis. He was forced to cancel several shows in Canada, as well as in the Midwest, after initially testing positive.

“Ringo hopes to resume as soon as possible and is recovering at home,” an announcement on Starr’s website said at that time. “As always, he and the All Starrs send peace and love to their fans and hope to see them back out on the road soon.”
