Kyodo Tokyo, the local promoter in charge of Paul McCartney‘s aborted Japanese tour, released a statement on May 27 saying that the former Beatle had recovered sufficiently from a virus and had left Japan by chartered jet.

Kyodo did not specify where McCartney was heading but Japanese media said it was London.

In addition to canceling four dates in Japan, he was forced to cancel his first-ever show in Seoul, as well.

Kyodo added, “Paul McCartney himself hopes to return to japan for more concerts as soon as possible,” and added that negotiations were ongoing.
