Earl Sweatshirt has revealed that ongoing issues with anxiety and depression are behind his decision to cancel a number of European shows.
The rapper was due to play London's Field Day festival at the weekend, but sadly pulled out little more than an hour before his set.
At first his reason was a mystery, with fans left to speculate why the Odd Future lynchpin had pulled an entire European tour.
Pitchfork has obtained a statement from his reps, explaining that ongoing issues with anxiety and depression are behind the decision.
It reads:
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.
