I still want to ask “What’s an Austin Mahone?” but I think the teen crowd really loves him, so let’s just go with that. In any case, he’s not doing very well and has had to cancel his tour as he’s in the hospital with a high fever, trying to recover. He hasn’t been specific about what’s actually going on with him, but he will need time to recover.
Here’s some of his tweets – and some from his mom!
I can’t believe this is happening its my first tour I’m so upset. I feel like I’m letting you all down

Austin is very upset about this & we want to say we are sorry to all the Mahomies & their parents who have made arrangements to come out

It’s awful to be sick in the first place, but to have to cancel your first big tour just adds insult to (literal) injury. Add to that the fact that his fans are apparently called “Mahomies” and you’ve got an all-around tragedy.
In all seriousness, here’s hoping the kid gets well soon.
