Yungblud has canceled all remaining live performances for 2025, telling fans his “heart is broken” over the decision. The artist, whose real name is Dominic Richard Harrison, explained in an emotional statement that a series of medical tests revealed “concerns” that require him to take an immediate break from the road.
The 28-year-old musician has been touring extensively in support of his fourth studio album, Idols, which was released in June. The cancellation scraps upcoming shows in Philadelphia, Cleveland, Washington, Mexico City, and a planned run in Latin America.
On November 15, Yungblud posted a detailed explanation to his social media, informing fans that the decision was not his choice.
“This week when I got home off the road, and went to have some tests done (like I usually do) and my voice and blood tests have raised some concerns. I have been ordered by my doctor to take a break from touring until the end of the year.
It is in my nature to run and run until l run myself to the ground without giving a f**k about anything apart from the music and you guys but this time I’ve been told I have to take it seriously and I can’t f**k around.
I’m so sorry to do this. But reluctantly I have to cancel the shows through the end of the year. These include Philadelphia, Cleveland, Washington, Mexico City and Latin America. My heart is broken.
I don’t want to do any lasting damage to myself, we are on a journey that I want to last forever. I understand that some of you will be frustrated. I just want you to know that this is so hard for me to do but I promise I will make it up to you.
All US tickets will be refunded. If you sign up with an address at the link I will send you a gift. I never take anyone’s love support or energy for granted. You know you are everything to me. But I need this time. USA I will see you next year. Mexico and latam we are already looking into my own shows down there that will be mor affordable for next year too. It’s gonna be unbelievable. I can’t wait. Dom x”
The sudden health update clarifies Yungblud’s recent, unexplained departure from Limp Bizkit’s upcoming “Loserville” tour, where he was quietly replaced by Bullet For My Valentine.
The forced break comes at the end of a non-stop year for the British rocker. In addition to releasing Idols, Yungblud performed at the “Back to the Beginning” tribute concert for Ozzy Osbourne, collaborated with Aerosmith on their new song “My Only Angel,” and recently received three 2026 Grammy nominations, including Best Rock Album for Idols.
As his statement notes, Yungblud is already planning to make good on the canceled dates, promising to return to the US and to organize new, more affordable headlining shows for his fans in Mexico and Latin America in 2026.
