As we at New Times often gush: "Austin Mahone is a teenaged dreamboat."

But even teen idols get sick. And sadly for millions of Mahomies, the 17-year-old Cash Money-signed cutie has come down with a bug that's forced him to cancel ~~both his Miami and Orlando concerts~~ his entire 2013 tour.

But wooo! He's already planning to reschedule for 2014! So now there's no reason to weep yourself to sleep, wondering "What About Love"!
