In a statement, Newman said: “Recently, I noticed I was shrinking. People over whom I had towered now towered over me.
“Turns out, my neck was broken.”
Newman, who also created music for Monsters Inc and Monsters University, said he had had a “successful” operation but he has to take extended recovery time.
“The doctor said I’m not quite ready to tour,” he added.
“I was really looking forward to coming to Europe to perform. I miss performing a great deal and I look forward to a time when I can come.
“I’m sorry I won’t see you this time but I will see you soon.”
