Chance the Rapper wants to focus on family and music. 

The performer shared his decision to cancel his national tour scheduled to kick off in January via an Instagram post Sunday. 

Apologizing and explaining to fans he wrote: “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.”

He also shared his hopes for a better next 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.”

The ambitious tour was announced back in July. It included 35-dates with shows at New York’s Madison Square Garden and the Los Angeles Forum.
