The Conductor Sir John Eliot Gardiner has withdrawn from all engagements until next year to undergo counselling after an allegation of assault.

In a new statement, he apologised for the " distress" he had caused.

It was supposed to be the start of a European tour, but it ended with The Conductor allegedly hitting The Bass singer William Thomas in a backstage altercation.
Sir John instantly flew home to the UK, with representatives blaming the 80-year-old's outburst on a mixture of extreme heat and new medication.
He subsequently pulled out of The Tour , with his assistant Dinis Sousa taking his place for The Remainder of the dates, including one at the Bbc Proms on 3 September.
