Country singer Colter Wall blamed the singer for being “mentally unwell” when he announced the cancellation of his tour.
The 30-year-old told fans on Wednesday that he was canceling the remainder of his 2026 tour and taking an “indefinite hiatus” from live performances to focus on his mental health.
“Myself, my band, and crew are so grateful for the privilege of playing music together for you all. We are grateful,” Wall began his statement on Instagram.
“The truth is, I’m not feeling well mentally,” he continued. “Despite this, I continued to push myself to continue touring, and as a result, my mental health only worsened.”
Wall said that after “discussions with the team,” he had made the decision to cancel future performances.
After thanking his followers for their “understanding and support,” Wall said tickets for canceled performances “will be automatically refunded from the original point of purchase.”
Wall turned off comments on his posts.
Days before the announcement, Wall abruptly canceled his Sunday night show in Evansville, Indiana, minutes before he was scheduled to take the stage.
In February 2025, nine months before releasing his latest album, Memories and Empties, Wall rescheduled nine tour dates into the fall.
“The reasons for doing so are very personal and despite the nature of my profession, I have always valued my privacy,” he said on social media at the time.
The “Cowpoke” singer continued, “But let me just say that for reasons of my mental and physical health, it is very necessary for me to take some time off from touring.”
Wall also told fans that abruptly canceling the show is “not something to take lightly.”
“I know this is not the news people want to hear, and I don’t really like sitting in on the news and delivering it,” he wrote.
Wall began his career in 2015 with the release of the seven-song EP “Imaginary Appalachian.”
His self-titled debut album was released two years later.
In a past interview with Rolling Stone, Wall described his music as a blend of traditional country and folk.
“I call myself a folk singer, so I should be stripped down and not produce too much,” he told the magazine about his first album.
Wall added, “The mission statement was less is more. This is a record about storytelling and songwriting.”
