Actor Brian Cox has postponed his upcoming national tour because he has been "very busy" and it was "too soon".

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).
