When you have been performing as long as I have, it takes a toll on your body,” Richie tweeted. “Unfortunately, my recovery from a knee procedure will not have me 100 percent ready to start the tour next month.

I don’t want to disappoint my fans, and I look forward to being back on stage so we can all be ‘Dancing on the Ceiling’ together again.”

“Lionel, you have my unbridled love & support,” Carey tweeted in response to the news. “Please feel better soon so we can have a great time touring together this summer.”

Carey is currently supporting her new single “I Don’t” and working on new music that she says she will release when it’s done rather than waiting until she has an album’s worth of material finished.
