Chance the Rapper cancels tour

After postponing his tour from the fall to early 2020, Chance the Rapper has now scrapped the outing completely.

The Chicago artist posted the news on his Instagram page Sunday, saying, “I’m gonna take this time to be with family, make some new music and develop my best show to date.”

His reason for delaying “The Big Day” tour until January also stemmed from a desire to be with his family.

“I know it sucks and (it’s) been a lot of back and forth with reschedules and rerouting, but it’s for the best,” the rapper wrote Sunday. “I promise to come back much stronger and better in 2020 and hope to see some of you guys there.”

Hey guys I’ve decided to cancel the Big Tour. I know it sucks and its been a lot of back and forth with reschedules and rerouting, but it’s for the best. I’m gonna take this time to be with family, make some new music and develop my best show to date. I’m deeply sorry to anyone with a ticket who has supported me this past decade by coming to a show and rocking out with me and I feel even worse for anyone who was planning on making this their first Chance concert. Thank you all for an amazing year, and a huge thanks to my team and family for being so strong through this whole year. I promise to come back much stronger and better in 2020 and hope to see some of you guys there. I truly love you and God bless.
