Wasafi signee Mbosso has postponed his American tour due to health issues.

Mbosso's tour was to take place end of November to mid-December.

The singer said his doctor advised that he stays home.

"The doctor recommended that I should not travel or sit in a plane for more than eight hours," he announced.

"I apologise to all my fans, promoters and anybody who was waiting to see me at this time."

He added that tour dates will be announced as soon as he gets clearance from his doctor.

A few months ago, Mbosso said he is suffering from severe heart problems. 

In an interview with Wasafi Media, he said the condition is caused by a blockage in his arteries and causes his body to tremble.

"I have been told my problems are due to my blood vessels being blocked by fat. I have had this condition since I was born," he said.

Mbosso explained that there are times when the condition causes numbness in his body until he loses consciousness. 

Mbosso said the disease is present in his family and he has had it since his birth. 

"I have been pressured to keep exercising. There are also professionals I have contacted. I have to travel to meet them," he said.

Mbosso also talked about experiencing hand twitches that prevent him from having a firm grip when holding objects. 

He said the condition has affected his social life as he sometimes declines invitations to eat in people’s houses.
