Chance the Rapper cancels The Big Tour: ‘I promise to come back’

Chance the Rapper has announced that he’s cancelling his already-postponed The Big Tour on Sunday.

The Ballin Flossin rapper had previously postponed the arena tour five days before it was set to begin in September, and the tour was set rescheduled to start on Jan. 15, 2020.

“Hey guys I’ve decided to cancel the Big Tour,” he wrote in an Instagram post. “I know it sucks and its been a lot of back and forth with reschedules and rerouting, but it’s for the best.”

The 26-year-old rapper continued: “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.”

Chance the Rapper was set to perform in Toronto on Feb. 12 at the Scotiabank Arena and in Montreal on Feb. 13 at the Bell Centre.
