Colter Wall has canceled his 2026 tour amid a tumultuous time with his mental health.
The country and folk singer announced the cancellation of all remaining shows on his Memories and Empties Tour on Instagram on March 11, saying he will be taking an “indefinite hiatus from live music.”
“The truth is that I am mentally unwell. Despite this, I have pushed myself to continue with touring. As a result my mental health has only further declined,” he said.
The Canadian musician assured ticket holders that they would be automatically refunded.
“Myself and the band and the crew are very grateful for the privilege to play music together for you. We thank you for it,” he wrote. “Thank you for your understanding and support.”
Wall, 30, kicked off his tour in Austin on Jan. 16. He has completed several stops in Texas, as well as in San Diego, Albuquerque and St. Louis. Two mid-January shows in Fort Worth, Texas, were also canceled due to extreme weather from a winter storm in North Texas.
His scheduled stops in Indianapolis on March 11 and 12, as well as Cincinnati on March 13 and Detroit on March 14, are all canceled.
The tour was for his fifth studio classic country album, “Memories and Empties,” which promoters said “channels the spirit of artists like Merle Haggard with swinging pedal steel, rich storytelling, and Wall’s unmistakable baritone.”
Known for his no-nonsense country and unique baritone voice, Wall broke into the genre with his 2015 EP “Imaginary Appalachia” and 2017 debut self-titled album “Colter Wall.”
