\u201cWe have worked so hard to bring you the sort of top-level musicianship and arrangements that you all deserve in a live show, and I am beyond excited to bring my music and this incredible band and show to some of the most iconic rooms in the world,\u201d he told fans.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to be fun!\u201d<\/p>\n

However, the Auckland concert and planned shows in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth have now been cancelled.<\/p>\n

Puth had not publicly addressed the cancellations by tonight, but fans on social media said they were \u201cdevastated\u201d by the news.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy partner and I are so disappointed,\u201d one commented.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust got the email half an hour ago, so upset,\u201d another wrote.<\/p>\n

Puth is best known for hits including Attention and We Don\u2019t Talk Anymore, as well as Wiz Khalifa\u2019s See You Again, on which he featured.<\/p>\n

The song appeared in Furious 7 and served as a tribute to actor Paul Walker, who died before filming was completed.<\/p>\n
