The message didn't reveal whether the musician is still set to perform at the FireAid concert in California on Thursday, January 30, which is being held to raise money for the victims of the Los Angeles wildfires.
The event is taking place at two venues with two lineups, which also includes Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Billie Eilish and Jelly Roll.
It wasn't revealed whether the star will still perform at the FireAid concert on Thursday, January 30.
Prior to the postponements and FireAid announcement, the British star's latest social media post was a tribute to movie director David Lynch, who passed away from emphysema on Thursday, January 16, at age 78.
"David was a modern giant of the avant garde. I am so proud to have worked with him on the first Dune movie. Rest in peace #davidlynch," he captioned his post.
Sting postponed his shows on 'advisement from his doctor.'
The guitarist most recently made headlines when he was asked about Sean "Diddy" Combs' arrest and scandal, as the rapper, 55, used a sample of The Police's track "Every Breath You Take" for his song "I'll Be Missing You," which won a Grammy in 1998.
In an interview, Sting admitted he didn't "know" much about Diddy's troubles — which includes multiple rape lawsuit and an arrest for s-- trafficking — but insisted Combs' alleged crimes have nothing to do with the tune, which also featured 112 and Faith Evans and acted as a tribute to the late The Notorious B.I.G.
"It doesn’t taint the song at all for me. It’s still my song," the singer declared.
