« JI have to listen to my limits. Bad news for Stromae fans. The Belgian singer, currently on tour, has announced the cancellation of all his concerts until the end of May, Tuesday April 4. The author of “So we dance” evokes health reasons in a press release published on social networks. “I must resign myself to the fact that my health unfortunately does not allow me to continue to come to meet you for the moment,” he wrote to his fans, expressing his “deep sadness”. Stromae had already canceled six concert dates in the past two weeks.

The 38-year-old singer, who has already suffered from depression, did not specify the medical reasons for these new cancellations which concern 15 show dates across Europe. Currently touring Europe to promote his album Multitudereleased a year ago, he had already canceled six concert dates in the past two weeks.

“suicidal thoughts”

“I share this news with you with enormous regret and deep sadness, but I have to listen to my limits,” he said on Tuesday. “Surrounded by my family, I have to take the time to recover to resume, when I can, the rest of the concerts,” he explained. “I hope to give you more positive news as soon as possible. I can’t wait to see you again to finish this tour,” added Stromae.

The artist was back on stage in the summer of 2022 after a long period of absence caused by depression, escorted by “suicidal thoughts” which he had narrated bluntly in his title “Hell”.
