Professor Green has delayed his upcoming UK tour for a second time.

The rapper originally postponed a run slated for November 2013 to May after being involved in a car crash.

However, he has now confirmed in a lengthy website post that after a number of incidents, such as being banned from the wheel after drink-driving, his tour has been moved to this winter.

Green wrote: "The last 18 months have been mental, turbulent, up and down, round and round, amazing, horrible, happy, sad, frustrating, testing, trying and above all incredibly f**king stressful. I wanted an album out last October but, as most of you are aware, a lot has happened in my wonderfully colourful day-to-day life. I got hit by a car, got married and then had my life turned upside down by an entirely unfounded arrest for something which I was subsequently not charged. A waste of time. Silly billy bully boys."

He continued: "Fear not, I've finally finished my album and the work has not suffered for it; if anything, the time I've had between all the chaos has made for a much better album. I'm not sorry it's late, I'd be sorry if it was s**t, there's no coming back from that. No-one ever released a great album late - albums are done when they're done, there is in fact no such thing as a late album - so there. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure people have released s**t albums they've rushed.

"You lot have been there the whole way, and I can't wait to get this album out for you all to hear and to get back on stage without a gammy knee or a looming bail date. That said, I'm not gonna come out and perform the same set I have been since the last album, it wouldn't be fair to you - at least not until I'm doing a greatest hits tour when I'm on my third marriage, have 12 kids and a huge tax bill. I'm touring the new album in November, which will give you a fair few months to live with the album and know it inside out. Back before you know it, I can't wait to see you in November when we can sing our little hearts out together."

The rapper also uploaded a clip of new track 'I'm Not Your Man', a video message and two new tour dates.
