But he revealed on Twitter: “Due to a sudden illness, I am sorry to say that I must cancel my appearances this weekend.

“I want to personally apologize to all the fans who were expecting to see me in NYC, Dallas and Arkansas and the people who worked very hard to put these events on.

“As someone who has never missed a day of work in his entire career, it is with heavy that that I had to make this decision.

“Again, thank you to all my fans for your continued support and I will be Stylin and Profilin’ again in no time.”

The WWE legend previously revealed the devastating amount of alcohol he used to drink which almost killed him.

Flair claimed he downed ten beers and five cocktails EVERY DAY to help him overcome pains and injuries suffered from the wrestling game.
