Actor Brian Cox postpones his one-man tour
The star of HBO TV drama Succession was due to launch his 18-date one-man show - It's All About Me! - on 1 October at the Royal & Derngate Theatre in Northampton.
But the 79-year-old told BBC Newscast he was "tired" after the amount of work he had done this year.
The Royal & Derngate said its box office would be in touch with any ticket holders and it was hopeful the show would be rescheduled in 2026.
The Emmy and Golden Globe-winning star is also known for his role in the film Manhunter and his stage work with the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC).
He has been performing in Make it Happen, the story of the rise and fall of the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), in Edinburgh.
On postponing his tour, Cox said: "I just thought 'I'll do it some time', [October is] just too soon."
He said he is due to take his new film Glenrothan - the first he has directed - to the Toronto Film Festival next month.
"It's been very busy and I just thought 'I can't be doing it'," he said.
The tour would have also seen Cox perform at the Corn Exchange in Ipswich on 3 October and the Cliffs Pavilion in Southend-on-Sea on 20 October.
The Scottish actor trained at Dundee Rep Theatre before moving on to perform with the Royal Lyceum Theatre, the Royal National Theatre and the RSC, where he gained acclaim for playing King Lear.

Bill Maher says ‘The View' co-hosts are not ‘the best advertisement for women' in blunt criticism
HBO host Bill Maher had some harsh words for the co-hosts of 'The View' on Monday. While interviewing actress and talk show host Drew Barrymore on his 'Club Random' podcast, Maher admitted he doesn't think that the five women who host the ABC show are the best spokespeople for the female perspective. 'And I like everyone, but I don't know if they're really at this moment the best advertisement for women,' he told the actress. The topic came up when 'The Drew Barrymore Show' host told Maher to visit New York City and be a guest on her show, which prompted Maher to talk about his friendship with several of the women on 'The View.' He acknowledged his fondness for them as his friends but admitted their show is 'a lot.' 'I'm friendly with some of the ladies on 'The View' and I love them but, like, that show's a lot.' 3 Maher said to Barrymore that the hosts on 'The View' are not the best representation of women at this moment. YouTube/Club Random Podcast Barrymore brought up that 'View' co-host Joy Behar appeared on her show recently and Maher remarked, 'I love Joy.' He went on to say that though he likes everybody on the ABC talk show, he's not such a fan of their talking points on the program. 'They say some things that are just like, not helpful, say to elections.' Maher appeared as a guest on 'The View' in May 2024, where he clashed with co-host Sunny Hostin about Israel's conduct in its war with Hamas. 3 Maher insisted that he just is not a fan of the talking points on the program. Instagram/@thedrewbarrymoreshow Hostin argued that Israel was murdering innocent Palestinian civilians and children in the conflict, and Maher pushed back. He stated that he was concerned about innocent lives being lost but insisted that Israel has the right to fight its war with Hamas and that if Hamas was concerned about innocent lives, they'd stop their attacks. 'That's what happens in a war. Here's a way to stop that, stop attacking Israel,' he said. 3 Maher clashed with 'The View' co-host Sunny Hostin when he was a guest on the show in May 2024. ABC The HBO host also called out 'The View' co-host Whoopi Goldberg in recent weeks, after she claimed in July that Black people are oppressed in America the same way that women are oppressed in Iran. 'That is something that, again, is infuriating about the far left, I would say. Call them whatever they wanted. 'Not the woke, the stupid woke, like Whoopi Goldberg, love her, but when she said a couple weeks ago that being Black was the same as being a woman in Iran, it's like, yeah, in 1920, but not today,' Maher said during an episode of his podcast with his guest, progressive commentator Brian Tyler Cohen.

In pensive tribute after Malcolm-Jamal Warner's death, his mother says it ‘was his time'
Pamela Warner, the mother of late 'Cosby Show' star Malcolm-Jamal Warner, looked beyond loss and offered some comfort to his fans as she broke her silence about his sudden death in July. The elder Warner created an Instagram page dedicated to her son's legacy and on Friday released a contemplative and lengthy statement saying the actor-musician 'was at peace and more importantly, he did not suffer.' Warner, who was best known for his portrayal of clean-cut Theodore Huxtable, drowned while swimming in the Caribbean off Costa Rica. He was 54. Pamela Warner reflected on her son's accomplishments in TV, music and his personal life, honoring her son as a 'kind, loving man with a huge heart for humanity' and an 'exceptional' family man. In addition to his mother, the actor is survived by his wife and daughter. 'Malcolm left an indelible mark on the world and on countless hearts,' she wrote. 'All who met him, however briefly, were better for the encounter.' While she mourned the loss of her 'teacher, coach, confidant, business partner, and best friend,' Pamela Warner also reflected on giving birth to him more than 50 years ago. She said she felt 'blessed that he chose me to be his mother, to come into the world through the waters of my womb.' She went on to offer a full-circle perspective on her son's death. 'Malcolm was birthed through water and he transitioned through water,' she wrote. 'He departed as he arrived, through water. This was his time. His mission on earth had been completed.' The Emmy-nominated actor was on vacation with his family at the time of his death. He was swimming when a current pulled him deeper into the ocean. The Red Cross in Costa Rica said its first responders also tended to another man caught in the same current that claimed Warner's life. The patient, whose identity was not disclosed, survived. First responders found Warner without vital signs, and he was taken to the morgue. Pamela Warner's statement joins the collection of tributes honoring her son's life. Malcolm-Jamal Warner's co-stars including Bill Cosby, Geoffrey Owens and Raven-Symoné and, more recently, Keshia Knight Pulliam have mourned his death. 'A week ago I lost my big brother but I gained an angel,' Pulliam said of her TV brother on social media. Malcolm-Jamal Warner was a multi-faceted entertainer who in addition to acting also pursued a Grammy-winning music career. After his time on 'The Cosby Show' he also directed episodes for several other TV shows. Warner's mother's statement acknowledged his reach, encouraging his fans and loved ones to 'Hold close to whatever part of Malcolm's life that touched yours.' Her statement concluded: 'In keeping it near, you keep his spirit alive — nourishing you with the peace, love, joy and light that embodied Malcolm-Jamal Warner.'
