Earl Sweatshirt cancels tour due to "exhaustion"
Odd Future rapper Earl Sweatshirt has announced that he’ll no longer play a series of festival shows this summer due to a “lack of self maintenance”.
“I had to press eject on the tour,” he recently wrote on Twitter. “I am physically and mentally at the end of my rope. I weigh a fraction of what I’m supposed to”.
The shows were originally scheduled for July and August, but now look unlikely to happen. However, Pitchfork have confirmed that Earl will still perform at the Pitchfork Music Festival later this month as planned.
Check out the tweets in question below:
I sincerely apologize to any of y’all who planned to see me at these next couple festival dates. Due to lack of self maintenance .....
