Aussie icon Daryl Braithwaite has been forced to cancel his recent shows amid a health scare.

On Sunday, the singer, 76, announced via Facebook that he had to cancel his scheduled gig in Cronulla, Sydney "due to a medical condition" only a few days after postponing a show in Torquay, Victoria.

"It is so frustrating trying to make my voice work when it breaks down, you try all of the old and new secret remedies and hope," he wrote on Sunday morning.

"Hi Daryl Braithwaite we're really sorry to hear you're not well. Sutherland Shire sends you their best wishes for a speedy recovery. We missed you on Sunday! Get well soon."

Braithwaite rose to fame back in the '70s as a member of iconic Aussie band Sherbet, but he is best known for a song he released decades later.

In 1991, the singer released his iconic cover of The Horses – a song that has since become a pub classic.

The song is ingrained in Australian culture and has become one of the few tunes loved by generation after generation.

Over the years, Braithwaite has taken home several ARIA Awards, with even more nominations under his belt. In 2017, he was inducted into the Hall of Fame.
