Ennio Morricone, composer laureate of the spaghetti western, has called off the three US dates of a world tour and may cancel the rest, Variety reports, due to ‘health concerns’.

Morricone, 85, is suffering from the effects of a back injury.

A restored print of Fistful of Dollars, one of his masterpieces, is being shown at the Cannes Film Festival to mark its 50th anniversary.
