The Canadian country singer released the album Memories and Empties<\/em> last year<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n\tColter Wall<\/a>, who first caught the attention of traditional country fans with his 2017 self-titled album and rough-hewn songs like \u201cKate McCannon\u201d and \u201cMotorcycle,\u201d has canceled his 2026 tour, citing the need to take care of his mental health<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe singer-songwriter from Saskatchewan, Canada, shared the news with fans in a post on social media on Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe truth is that I am mentally unwell,\u201d Wall wrote in part. \u201cDespite this, I have pushed myself to continue with touring. As a result my mental health has only further declined.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\n\tWall said that, after discussing the matter with his team, he is scrapping the rest of his 2026 tour in support of his album Memories and Empties<\/em>. \u201cWe have decided to cancel the remaining shows and take an indefinite hiatus from live music,\u201d he wrote. \u201cThank you for your understanding and support.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a 2017 interview<\/a> with Rolling Stone<\/em> that focused on his self-titled album, Wall talked about the intersection between country music and folk. \u201cI call myself a folksinger, so it should be stripped down and not a lot of production,\u201d he said. \u201cThe mission statement going in was less is more. This is a record about stories and about songwriting.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWall\u2019s decision to prioritize his mental health over the road isn\u2019t uncommon in the country music sphere. Artists from Ella Langley<\/a> and Hardy<\/a> to Wyatt Flores have all been forthright with fans about the emotional and mental toll that touring takes on a performer.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMy dreams were coming true so fast, I didn\u2019t even have time to think about them,\u201d Flores told Rolling Stone<\/em><\/a> in a 2024 feature. \u201cI\u2019d just wonder, \u2018Why was I even dreaming about that?\u2019 and that\u2019s a bad mindset to have when you\u2019re getting to do something that you\u2019ve wanted to do since you were a kid.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
