Actor Brian Cox has postponed his upcoming national tour because he has been “very busy” and it was “too soon”.
The star of HBO TV drama Succession was due to launch his 18-date one-man show – It’s All About Me! – on 1 October at the Royal & Derngate Theatre in Northampton.
But the 79-year-old told BBC Newscast he was “tired” after the amount of work he had done this year.
The Royal & Derngate said its box office would be in touch with any ticket holders and it was hopeful the show would be rescheduled in 2026.
The Emmy and Golden Globe-winning star is also known for his role in the film Manhunter and his stage work with the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC).
He has been performing in Make it Happen, the story of the rise and fall of the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), in Edinburgh.
On postponing his tour, Cox said: “I just thought ‘I’ll do it some time’, [October is] just too soon.”
He said he is due to take his new film Glenrothan – the first he has directed – to the Toronto Film Festival next month.
“It’s been very busy and I just thought ‘I can’t be doing it’,” he said.
The tour would have also seen Cox perform at the Corn Exchange in Ipswich on 3 October and the Cliffs Pavilion in Southend-on-Sea on 20 October.
The Scottish actor trained at Dundee Rep Theatre before moving on to perform with the Royal Lyceum Theatre, the Royal National Theatre and the RSC, where he gained acclaim for playing King Lear.
