Robin Thicke is grateful for his fans following his split with wife Paula Patton.

"I want to thank everyone for the well wishes these last few days," the singer shared on his website on Wednesday.

He continued, "My fans mean everything to me. I'm looking forward to getting back on out on the road and performing in Washington DC this Thursday, and the rest of the tour. Looking forward to seeing everyone out there!"

This statement comes on the heels of Thicke canceling three consecutive shows on his Blurred Lines North America Tour. On Monday night, Harrah's Cherokee Casino Resort in North Carolina announced that Thicke had scrapped his Tuesday night show and that it would be postponed.

Thicke was supposed to have started his tour last week, but he canceled performances set for Friday in Atlanta and Saturday in Orlando.

In a statement released last Thursday, he said, "I never want to let down my fans but I have unfortunately lost my voice and cannot perform tomorrow night."

According to reports, Patton told Thicke on Friday that she wanted to end their marriage, so Thicke flew to Vancouver, where Paula is currently on location shooting, in an attempt to save their relationship (and that's reportedly the main reason why the singer canceled his show in Atlanta).

Thicke's rep confirmed Monday to E! News that the onetime teenage sweethearts have separated after nearly nine years of marriage. They have a son together, 3-year-old Julian.

"We will always love each other and be best friends; however, we have mutually decided to separate at this time," the pair said in a joint statement.
