Imagine Dragons have had to postpone their tour after frontman Dan Reynolds injured his knee and vocal cords.

They made the announcement on social media on Monday.

The Latin America leg of their Mercury World Tour has been postponed due to Imagine Dragons frontman Dan needing time to rest his voice and knee.

"In our 12 years as a band, we've never had to cancel a tour (and could count the number of shows on one hand)," they wrote on Twitter. "We hope you guys know how hard it is for us to postpone these dates, and we plan to make it up to you soon. Some of you may know that Dan has been struggling with hemorrhaged vocal cords and a nodule ever since the last tour leg, and he's been warned by his doctor that going out right now could cause a rupture."

It was explained that Dan has "a fairly serious" lateral collateral ligament (LCL) sprain in his knee.

The injury means the singer and will need to wear a brace.

"We just can't give you the show you expect and deserve right now," they stated, adding that they will keep fans updated about the rescheduled shows.

Get well soon Dan!
