March 31 [7:55 EST] -- Singer/songwriter Vic Chesnutt has abruptly canceled the second leg of his U.S. tour citing exhaustion.

A statement released by Capitol Records, Chesnutt's label, pointed to Chesnutt's rigorous recent tour schedule in explaining the decision to call off the tour.

Chesnutt has been working overtime with an ambitious U.S. and European itinerary over the last two years, and toured Europe twice since the November release of his "About To Choke" album.

In announcing the cancellation, Capitol directed ticketholders to local concert promoters for refund information.
