Lauv Drops Out of Tour With Khalid Citing Mental Health Struggles: ‘Trying to Be Strong’

Lauv is dropping out from his opening slot on Khalid‘s It’s Always Summer Somewhere Tour due to mental health issues.

“I’ve been trying to be strong enough to get back out there and share this music with all of you,” he wrote on Instagram on Tuesday. “But I have to be honest with myself and with you: I’m deeply struggling right now, and I need to step away for a little while to take care of my mental health.”

He apologized to his fans, Khalid, and those attending the tour. He also noted his transparency regarding his mental health in the past and how “they’re woven into pretty much every song I’ve ever wrote.”

Lauv expressed hope that his openness will push others to seek help. “If being open about this right now helps even one person look at their feelings and try to address whats going on, then hopefully something good will come from it. I’ll do everything I can to get healthy, get back into a creative place, and get back to doing what I love best.”

Khalid expressed his support of Lauv’s decision to step away and highlighted his perseverance. “I wish you an abundance of love, light, and clarity through your dark times,” he wrote on Instagram. “Seeing you perform and do what you’re passionate about every night has been such a pleasure and I know for a fact that when you are healed, you will continue to do even more great things. Your stories and songs have impacted so many fans and listeners, and we all will continue to be there for you.”

Back in May, the pair released the collaborative single “Tied Up.” Shortly thereafter, Khalid kicked off his tour, his first in six years, to promote his fourth album After the Sun Goes Down. About half of the U.S. tour remains before Khalid jets off to Europe and Oceania for select dates in the fall.

Lauv released his sophomore record All 4 Nothing in 2022 via A5B. “[I was] rethinking a lot of things in my life, finding balance, and revisiting childhood and my innate light,” he told Rolling Stone. “I felt like I had lost touch with it before, so thank God for therapy and meditation and the fact that I was able to make this album.”
