Belgian pop star Stromae has cancelled all his remaining tour dates in order to "rest and heal".

The singer, known for his 2010 hit Alors On Danse, said last month he was cancelling shows until the end of May, on health grounds.

Stromae said he had hoped to resume touring following the break.

But on Tuesday, he told fans he "won't be able to honour my promise" as his recovery was taking "longer than expected".

The 36-year-old has not disclosed further details of his medical condition, commenting only that he "felt [his] health take a bad turn" a few months ago.

Writing on Instagram, Stromae said: "Surrounded by my doctors, my family, my friends and my team, I was hoping I would be able to get better quickly in order to be resume touring and to meet you again as soon as possible.

"Unfortunately I must accept today that the time I need to rest and heal will take longer than expected. It is with my deepest regret that I won't be able to honour my promise and that I'm announcing today the end of the Multitude tour.

"This decision is a difficult one to make, but at the same time needed for me to heal."
