    The “Nothin’ But Neon” singer also apologized to his fans who had made plans and already spent money on his shows, noting he was “sorry for the disappointment this causes.”

    As for how Tayler plans to spend the time away from the stage? 

    “I’m taking this time to rest, seek support, and reconnect with myself away from the pressure and pace of touring,” he wrote, adding to fans, “Thank you for your patience, compassion, and continued support. It means more than you’ll ever know. Please take care of yourselves and each other.”

    But Tayler is far from the first celebrity to cancel a tour to focus on themselves in recent months. Meghan Trainor also made the decision to cancel her upcoming tour, citing the need to spend time with her family.

    “Balancing the release of a new album, preparing for a nationwide tour, and welcoming our new baby girl to our growing family of five has just been more than I can take on right now,” the Grammy winner wrote in an April 16 Instagram Story, “and I need to be home and present for each and all of them at this time.”

    She added, “I promise I’ll be back soon, and I can’t wait for you to hear this new record.”
