"I am hoping to make a speedy recovery and be back doing shows very soon," he wrote.
The 68-year-old Horses singer has been performing alongside Shannon Noll, who has vowed to continue his scheduled performances after being arrested over a fight outside Adelaide strip club The Crazy Horse Revue, as well as headliner John Farnham.
Red Hot Summer tour organisers have replaced Braithwaite with The Black Sorrows, featuring Vika and Linda Bull, which they described would be "two very special performances".
"We wish Daryl a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing him in a few weeks at Ballarat," they said on the tour's Facebook page.

"...From the RHST team and patrons alike we all wish Daryl all the very best."
Braithwaite has been hospitalised for a mysterious illness in the past, after having to cancel a Cairns gig in February last year while "stricken with something weird" in his throat.
