The Top Gear performances, which were due to take place at the Sømarka Arena in Stavanger on Friday and Saturday (27-28 March), are to be rescheduled for later in the year.

The announcement comes as an investigation continues into Top Gear's host Jeremy Clarkson's suspension following a "fracas" with a producer on the show.

A statement issued on the Top Gear Live site last night (22 March) said: "Top Gear Live regret to inform ticket holders for next week’s shows in Stavanger, Norway that we will be postponing all 4 performances, with rescheduled dates for later this year to be confirmed within the next fortnight.

"We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience this will cause fans and we will endeavour to contact all ticket holders directly to inform them of the change of dates."

Clarkson was suspended on 10 March following an alleged altercation with producer Oisin Tymon.

No other shows have been cancelled as yet. The tour is set to return to the UK in May (22-24), with a three-day run at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast.
