Pete Davidson, the well-known comedian and former “Saturday Night Live” cast member, recently made headlines after canceling his comedy show at the New York City Beacon Theater just two hours before he was scheduled to take the stage.
The cancelation, attributed to “unforeseen circumstances,” has left fans disappointed, with many taking to social media to express their frustration over the last-minute change. Additionally, Davidson’s upcoming shows leading into the new year have also been scrapped up until Jan. 6. If all goes to plan, he is expected to return to the stage at the Premier Theater in Mashantucket, Ct.
This unexpected cancelation comes amidst the comedian’s well-documented struggles with mental health. Davidson has battled with borderline personality disorder and PTSD, for which he checked himself into rehab in Pennsylvania earlier this year.
In addition to his mental health challenges, Davidson has also faced legal trouble, including a reckless driving charge in Beverly Hills. Despite his personal struggles, Davidson has been keeping busy with his girlfriend, Madelyn Cline, with whom he’s been in a relationship since October.
The comedian has also faced backlash for recent outbursts, including a contentious voicemail left for an animal rights group. With his recurring battles with mental health taking center stage, fans and industry insiders continue to show support for Davidson as he navigates these challenges.
