MANILA (UPDATED) — The concert of Ebe Dancel with his former Sugarfree bandmate Mitch Singson has been moved to a later date due to health concerns.

In an Instagram post, Dancel said that the concert will be moved to February 3.

"To my fans, I regret to inform you that due to concerns about my health, the Dramachine 20 Years Concert, set for January 26, 2024 at 123Block has been rescheduled to February 3, 2024," the OPM singer said.

"All previously sold tickets will be honored on the rescheduled date. However, for those who are unable to attend due to prior engagements, rest assured, full refunds will be facilitated (refund details will be emailed to you)," he added.

"I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and look forward to delivering an unforgettable performance on the new date. I will recover soon and the show will go on. Hope to see you on February 3, 2024, 123Block. I really hope to still see you all there."

Dancel later confirmed that the postponement is because he tested positive for COVID-19.

"I just need a few days to rest my voice, and I should be good to go," said Dancel.

This year marks Dancel's 25th in the music industry. In light of this, he shared some of the valuable lessons he has learned throughout his career.

"Una, patience," says Dancel. "Nothing happens overnight. We waited awhile before we got our break. Keep creating songs that you like. If you like, there's a chance that people will like them as well."

"Pangalawa, just as important, the value of humility. Kasi talent alone cannot bring success. Talent should go hand in hand with humility," he added.

In his 25th year in the industry, Dancel remains as enthusiastic as ever and is eager to collaborate with emerging OPM artists. He is constantly on the lookout for fresh talent and wants to work with the new voices in the industry.

"I'm open to collaborating with [the] younger generation. Marami ako matutunan sa kanila," he said. -- With a report from Ganiel Krishnan, ABS-CBN News
