McCartney’s journey through the U.S. was to begin June 14 in Lubbock, Texas. However, his doctors have ordered a little more down time before Macca returns to the concert stage. That means the “Out There” tour will not resume until July 5 in Albany, N.Y.

“I’m sorry but it’s going to be a few more weeks before we get rocking in America again,” McCartney said. “I’m feeling great but taking my docs’ advice to take it easy for just a few more days. Look forward to seeing you all soon.”

Here are the changes:

Oct. 2 – Lubbock, Texas, United Spirit Arena (was June 14)
Oct. 11 – New Orleans, La., Smoothie King Center (was June 19)
Oct. 13 – Dallas, Texas, American Airlines Center (was June 16)
Oct. 15 – Atlanta, Ga., Philips Arena (was June 21)
Oct. 16 – Nashville, Tenn., Bridgestone Arena (was June 25)
Oct. 25 – Jacksonville, Fla., Jacksonville Veterans Mem. Arena (was June 22)
Oct. 28 – Louisville, Ky., KFC Yum! Center (was June 26)
