Here's a bit of news that's definitely not music to our ears.

Phillip Phillips has announced that he has to cancel the remaining nine dates of his college tour.

"Hey guys, due to doctor's orders I have to postpone my last few tour dates. They will be rescheduled!" the American Idol Season 11 winner wrote on his Facebook page.

The 22-year-old singer added, "Looking forward to seeing you all on the John Mayer tour this summer!"

Phillips, who underwent kidney surgery last year, is said to be dealing with exhaustion and dehydration, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

No word yet if the condition will keep Phillips from appearing on next week's American Idol season finale.
