Canadian country singer Colter Wall is cancelling his current tour plans and taking an “indefinite hiatus from live music.” In a statement, he cites mental health issues exacerbated by his tour schedule, which has had him on the road this year throughout January, February, and this month. It reads:
Myself and the band and the crew are very grateful for the privilege to play music together for you. We thank you for it.
The truth is that I am mentally unwell. Despite this, I have pushed myself to continue with touring. As a result my mental health has only further declined.
After discussions with my team, we have decided to cancel the remaining shows and take an indefinite hiatus from live music.
Thank you for your understanding and support. Tickets will be refunded automatically from original point of purchase.
Best wishes to Wall, whose most recent album is last year’s Memories and Empties.
