Event organiser Big Concerts has announced that Spanish crooner Julio Iglesias will not be performing in South Africa after all. Enrique�s dad, who according to Sony Music Entertainment is one of the top 30 bestselling musicians in history, was scheduled to perform at the Big Top Arena at Carnival City, Jo�burg, on November 5 and 6, before moving on to Cape Town�s GrandWest Casino on November 8.

The concerts have been �postponed until further notice�, apparently because Iglesias recently contracted �a serious ear infection�, from which the crooner is still recovering. Both Iglesias and Big Concerts have apologised to fans for any inconvenience and a new tour schedule is being discussed for performances next year.

Having garnered international fame from his singing career, Iglesias�s beginnings are often forgotten. Once a promising goal keeper for one of Real Madrid�s soccer teams before suffering a spinal-compression injury in a car accident, he began practicing the guitar to improve his fine motor dexterity.

Since the start of the singer�s illustrious musical career in 1986, when he won the Benidorm International Song contest in Spain with his entry, �La vida sigue igual�, Iglesias has released more than 80 albums in numerous languages and is the only musician ever to be awarded the Diamond Disc by the Guinness Book of World Records for selling more records in more languages than any other musical artist in history.

Fans of the �To All The Girls I�ve Loved Before� singer should hold on to their tickets until new dates have been announced, though according to a press release from PR company Penny Stein Promotions, all ticket holders for Iglesias�s shows are entitled to an immediate, full refund from Computicket outlets.
