“He would like to apologize to his fans and promises to be back as soon as he is able to”

Earl Sweatshirt’s run of European shows were abruptly canceled this weekend. The announcement was made hours before he was scheduled to perform at Field Day in London yesterday. He was also set to perform at Forbidden Fruit Festival in Dublin and Parklife Festival in Manchester. Earl’s representatives sent Pitchfork the following statement:

Earl is battling anxiety and depression which has been compounded by the grief from the recent passing of his father. He thought he would be ready to perform but simply is not yet able to. He would like to apologize to his fans and promises to be back as soon as he is able to.

Earl’s last album was 2015’s I Don’t Like Shit, I Don’t Go Outside.
