A popular rocker just canceled all of his future tour dates, announcing to fans that he has lost most of his hearing. Huey Lewis explained his situation in a Twitter post, which you can see below.

In the tweet, Lewis says he lost most of his hearing two and a half months ago just before a show in Dallas. “Although I can still hear a little, one on one, and on the phone, I can’t hear music well enough to sing,” he writes.

Lewis explains that doctors believe he has Meniere’s disease, and they agree that he can’t perform until his condition improves.

Lewis, who fronts the band Huey Lewis and the News, has a string of hits spanning decades, including “Hip to Be Square,” “The Heart of Rock & Roll” and “I Want a New Drug.”
