‘Oxford, New Theatre. Lincoln, The Engine Shed. Skegness, Embassy Hall. We apologise for any inconvenience caused’.
A representative for Jason declined to comment when by contacted by Daily Mail.
Devastated fans raced to the comments to share both concern for the star and their disappointment not to catch him on stage.
They said: ‘Get well soon but perhaps stop burning the candle at both ends’: ‘Get well soon Jason , hope all is ok’: ‘Hope you get well soon Jason, I know cancelling shows is a last resort for you. Take care of yourself’: ‘You’ve over done it son! Get well soon’: ‘Hope your OK Jason get well’.
Earlier this month the funnyman posted a message on his local Facebook community group looking for the person who pranged his car.
A hand-written note was left on his vehicle by an eyewitness, who claimed to have seen a ‘black or blue Tesla‘ hit his front bumper at 11.23am.
However, they did not leave any contact details, and did not reveal if they, or another motorist, was the culprit of the crash.
So in a bid to find out their identity, father-of-six Jason, 43, attached a picture of the note on the, We Love Bramhall community Facebook page.

One even flat out asked Jason if he has been taking weight loss jab Ozempic to achieve his healthy appearance.
‘Okay Jase spill the beans. Are you on O jabs?’ they wrote.
Alongside the post, Jason wrote: ”You can now grab 4 tickets for just £100 (plus fees) for A Manford All Seasons, thanks to the @ticketmasteruk June Bundle Offer! Yes that’s right £25 per person (plus fees)!’
Back in 2021, Jason lost three stone after reaching a peak of 17st 5lb and wearing size 40 jeans.
Speaking about the relationship he has with his weight, the Mirror reports Jason said: ‘I think I’ve thought about my weight every day of my adult life.’
He said that small things such as trying on clothes that don’t fit or getting out of breath playing with his children caused him to reconsider his lifestyle.
Jason claims he tried a variety of diets to help control his weight, but it was only when he stopped eating so much and started move more that he started to notice a difference.
While battling to cut down his weight, Jason said he received support from both his family, and the Jason Manford Weight Loss Support Group on Facebook he originally set up back in 2017.
