Yungblud for the Disney+ original series Camden
Yungblud has announced that the remainder of his gig dates this year have been cancelled on doctor’s orders.
The 28-year-old rocker was due to take his Idols world tour to the US and Latin America later this month but has been forced to pull out of them after “some concerns” were raised by medical tests.
“This year has been truly unbelievable and I feel so lucky and honoured from everything that has happened,” he wrote on Instagram. “This week when I got home off the road, and went to have some tests done (like I usually do) and my voice and blood tests have raised some concerns. I have been ordered by my doctor to take a break from touring until the end of the year.
“It is my nature to run and run until I run myself to the ground without giving a fuck about anything apart from the music and you guys but this time I’ve been told I have to take it seriously and I can’t fuck around.
“I’m so sorry to do this. But reluctantly I have to cancel the shows through the end of the year. These include Philadelphia, Cleveland, Washington, Mexico City and Latin America – my heart is broken.
“I don’t want to do any lasting damage to myself, we are on a journey that I want to last forever. I understand that some of you will be frustrated. I just want you to know that this is so hard for me to do but I promise I will make it up to you.
“All US tickets will be refunded. If you sign up with an address at the link I will send you a gift. I never take anyone’s love, support or energy for granted. But you know you are everything to me. But I need this time. USA I will see you next year. Mexico and Latama we are already looking into my own shows down there that will be more affordable for next year too. It’s gonna be unbelievable. I can’t wait.”
The singer recently celebrated earning three nominations at next year’s Grammy Awards, including ‘Best Rock Performance’, ‘Best Rock Song’ and ‘Best Rock Album’.
