It was announced today that Ryan Adams has cancelled his planned UK and Ireland tour, which included two shows at Dublin's Olympia Theatre at the end of this month.

The singer has been accused of sexual misconduct and emotional abuse by a number of women. The allegations came to light in a New York Times report several weeks ago.
