In an Instagram Stories message, Post Malone-whose real name is Austin Richard Post-explained that the cancellations were not related to recent controversies surrounding Jelly Roll, who faced backlash over some contentious comments. Instead, Post Malone cited time constraints as the primary reason for the changes.
“Looking at the upcoming schedule after Stagecoach, I realized that what we were trying to do and what’s possible aren’t really lining up,” the 30-year-old singer wrote. “Truth is, I promised y’all new music, and I don’t have the time to finish it before the tour starts.”
He went on to say that the tour would be postponed by about three weeks to allow him to complete his new material. Post Malone apologized to fans who had planned to attend the canceled shows, expressing his disappointment at not being able to perform as scheduled.
Post Malone also shared his excitement about his forthcoming seventh studio album, titled The Eternal Buzz. The album is anticipated to include 40 tracks across two discs.
The announcement sparked a wave of reactions online, with some fans expressing frustration over the postponement and his collaboration with Jelly Roll. Critics questioned the decision to delay the tour due to unfinished music and voiced concerns about the timing and logistics.
Despite the mixed feedback, Post Malone remains focused on delivering new music and resuming his tour once he is ready. Fans are encouraged to stay tuned for further updates on his album release and tour rescheduling.
