Yungblud has scrapped his upcoming trek through Asia, which was set to kick off later this month.

"I'm gonna have to cancel this Asia tour because we've been advised about the travel risks, in terms of coronavirus," the U.K. rocker says in his Instagram Story.

He adds that he wanted to just say "f*** it" and do the tour anyway, but he was advised to "seriously not."

"I just wanted to send a message and say that I'm thinking about you all a lot," Yungblud says. "I want to send all my love, and I hope that everybody's safe, and I hope that everyone is trying their best to be as positive as they can."

"I love you so much, I'll be back so soon, I promise," he adds. "I swear to god, I'm gonna get out there as soon as I can."

Green Day previously announced late last month that their upcoming Asia tour would be postponed. Meanwhile, Cage the Elephant just scrapped their March 4 show in Milan due to the outbreak in Italy.
