‘I’ve got some bad news unfortunately,’ Jimmy said in a Facebook post.
‘I had a twinge in my hip when I was leaving Dunedin (NZ) on Thursday morning and by late last night the pain was unbearable so I went off to hospital.
‘The doctors have recommended a remedial medical procedure ASAP followed by some physio to address the issue. These doctors don’t muck around!
‘Providing all goes to plan, I’m expected to make a full recovery in six weeks.’
Jimmy continued: ‘However, as a result of this unexpected surgery my August and September solo shows will all be impacted.
‘Ticket holders will be contacted with further info in the coming days once we have new plans in place.

The singer looked fit as a fiddle as he ‘worked out’ in a boxing ring.
During a holiday with his wife Jane in Thailand, he shared a photo to Instagram in which he posed in his luxury hotel gym.
The Working Class Man singer was all smiles in the sweet picture as he hammed it up for the camera by holding up his arms in a boxer’s stance, as he jokingly prepared to spar.
He looked healthy and confident in the picture, as he flashed his trademark cheeky grin to the camera.
