The tour, which was announced during an internet chat over the summer, was to commence in March 1999. It would have taken the multi-million selling British pop star around the world.
The tour would be the singer's first in over eight years. The paper quoted a friend as saying: "George doesn't want to let his fans down, but he just can't cope with touring at the moment."
According to the report, Michael is still trying to cope with a series of personal tragedies which include the deaths of both his mother last year and a close Brazilian male friend in 1994.
Michael, who released Older on DreamWorks in 1996, is set to release a greatest hits album on Sony in November. He has recently completed three new tracks - the last for Sony - for this collection.
