American comedian and actor Jerry Lewis had cancelled his Sydney tour — which was already sold out. The veteran comedian had fallen ill due to exhaustion while he was preparing for his performance on stage in Sydney in Australia.

The promoters had announced the cancellation of his tour. On Friday night, Lewis was supposed to perform in western Sydney to raise money for the muscular dystrophy. The event was cancelled at the last minute as the 85-year-old had fallen ill.

For the moment, the remaining tour has been postponed to Thursday so that he gets ample time to recover. The comedian will be returning to the stage in case his health permits.

David Jack, the head of the Australia's Muscular Dystrophy Foundation, has said that the actor is very disappointed for his fans as he could not perform. Jack added that the long journey from the US and the busy schedule for his national tour had taken a toll on his health. Lewis was not hospitalized, but was visited by a doctor after which he felt better. According to the staff of the place where the actor was supposed to perform, the actor was not even able to come out of his car and had looked very unwell.
