Alabama announced Wednesday it is postponing the remaining dates on its 50th anniversary tour so lead singer Randy Owen can deal with health issues.

Owen, 69, is suffering from migraines and vertigo. He was previously diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Bandmate Teddy Gentry said in a statement: “As disappointed as myself, Randy, and Jeff are to have to postpone this tour for all of our incredible fans, we know that Randy's recovery is what is most important for everyone at this time.”

The tour was scheduled to wrap up on Nov. 23.
