TORONTO — Singer Robin Thicke blamed “unexpected vocal issues” for scrapping a concert in Ontario on Tuesday — one night after celebrating his birthday at a Hollywood nightclub.
Thicke reportedly marked his 37th with friends, including Leonardo DiCaprio, at DBA. According to People, they drank tequila, beer and Cristal champagne.
The “Blurred Lines” star was scheduled to perform at Casino Rama in Orillia, Ont. — about two hours north of Toronto — the following night.
Thicke has cancelled a number of concerts since separating from his wife, actress Paula Patton, last month.
In a statement explaining the cancellation of a Florida show, Thicke said: “I have unfortunately lost my voice.” He was spotted the following day enjoying Disneyland in California with his son.
The Casino Rama show has been rescheduled for July 26.
Thicke is due to perform at the Juno Awards in Winnipeg on March 30. He is nominated for Pop Album of the Year, Artist of the Year and Fan Choice.
Ottawa’s Catherine Vanner posted a petition at change.org demanding Thicke be stripped of his Juno nominations because of the “blatant sexism, degradation of women and promotion of rape culture” in his hit song “Blurred Lines.” To date it has collected slightly more than 500 supporters.
