PinkPantheress Cancels All 2024 Shows to Focus on Her Health: ‘I Have Reached a Wall’
The British musician was scheduled to join Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts World Tour this month, along with stops at several festivals
PinkPantheress is putting her health first. On Thursday, the musician announced that she’d be canceling all of her shows for the remainder of the year to prioritize her physical health and “overall well-being.”
“It is with the heaviest heart that I sadly have to announce that I will not be able to continue with the rest of my live shows this year in order to focus on my physical health and overall well-being,” she wrote in an Instagram story. “It appears I have reached a wall which I am struggling to penetrate through.”
PinkPantheress said she’d be canceling her appearances at festivals, including III Points Fest in Miami, along with her scheduled appearances on Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts World Tour this month, and Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres shows in Australia and New Zealand in November. PinkPantheress had recently opened for Rodrigo in Philly, Atlanta, and DC last month, but pulled out of a show in Oklahoma City on July 27.
“I would like to thank all of you, as well as my touring team and Olivia for giving me the platform to perform some super fun shows,” PinkPantheress wrote. “I’m sad to disappoint anyone and can only hope we will be in each other’s company once I return to health.”
The singer did not provide additional details about her health issues. Rodrigo and Coldplay have yet to announce who will replace her opening slot on the road.
Along with performing at the MLS All-Star Concert last month, the singer embarked on her solo Capable of Love tour in Europe and North America earlier this year. She played New York City’s Paramount Brooklyn, Nashville’s Brooklyn Bowl and Los Angeles’ Hollywood Palladium in April.
PinkPantheress last released her Selena-sampling single “Turn It Up” in May as a follow-up to her 2023 album Heaven Knows, which featured songs such as “Mosquito,” “Another Life” with Rema, and “Capable of Love.”
