Why did Russell Brand cancel his tour?

On April 26, 2018, The Sun revealed how Russell's mum Barbara had been involved in a serious car accident.

The 42-year-old comedian took to Twitter to post an emotional video from the hospital revealing Barbara, 71, had suffered "numerous life-threatening injuries";.

Russell said: "I can't imagine performing at the moment, I feel too sad and too connected to this.

"I apologise, but obviously it's circumstances beyond my control. What I realise in this situation is the importance of people you love and how often this kind of thing happens."
