The beloved crooner has postponed his highly-anticipated tour until June 2023.
Multi-award-winning, multi-Platinum-selling global superstar Michael Bublé has cancelled his Australian tour with less than three weeks to go.
Leaving fans fuming, the singer was slated to perform nine shows on Australian stages in November and December 2022.
Bublé’s tour was due to kick off in Newcastle on Wednesday 30 November before touring to Perth, Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on December 7 and December 8, Adelaide, Sydney and finish up in Brisbane with two dates.

Buble announced the news that the tour would be postponed until June on social media due to “logistical issues”.
“Despite our best efforts, my team and I have come to realise that global logistical issues have made it impossible for us to deliver the show that I feel Australians deserve,” Bublé wrote in a statement.
“Although it’s completely disappointing for all of us, I wanted to be transparent with you and hope you can understand what a difficult decision this was to make.
“I appreciate your patience and look forward to seeing you this coming June.
“Love, Michael.”
Last time Bublé graced our shores was back in 2020 – for the Australian leg of his hugely successful, sold-out ‘An Evening With Michael Bublé’ tour – he jumped at the chance to throw his support behind Australia’s bushfire appeal with a live cross, from one of his Melbourne shows to the Fire Fight Australia bushfire benefit concert in Sydney.
Australia has embraced this universally loved Canadian artist right from the get-go, with his 2003 self-titled debut album topping the ARIA Albums Chart. Bublé has since gone on to celebrate 4 more chart-topping albums in this country – 2013’s ‘To Be Loved’, 2011’s iconic ‘Christmas’, 2009’s ‘Crazy Love’ and 2007’s ‘Call Me Irresponsible’ – as well as 3 records that peaked at #2. Throughout the course of his extraordinary career, Bublé has sold over 75 million albums.
His 11th album ‘Higher’ contains more self-penned original Bublé songs plus reinvigorated standards including a duet with Willie Nelson (‘Crazy’), Bob Dylan’s ‘Make You Feel My Love’ and the Sam Cooke classic ‘Bring It On Home To Me’.
As for his performance, Bublé is charismatic beyond belief and his between-song banter, often categorised by open-hearted goofiness. Something to look forward to in 2023.
