AJ Tracey has cancelled his upcoming UK and Ireland arena tour due to a number of coronavirus-related issues.
The rapperās āFlu Game Tourā – which was in support of his latest album of the same name – was due to kick off on November 13 at Dublinās 3 Arena, however, he has now announced that the dates will no longer be going ahead.
“Due to ongoing uncertainty with the pandemic, possible lockdowns & vaccination requirements, it’s become clear I won’t be able to deliver the Flu Game tour the way I wanted to & the way you lot deserve it,” Tracey wrote in a statement on Twitter.
“It’s with regret that I’m cancelling the tour and starting work on a completely new live experience for 2022.”
He continued: “In the meantime im gonna go sick at all my upcoming festivals & I’ll get to perform a lot of my new tracks with you lot for the first time.
“Thank you for always rocking with me. It genuinely means the world.”
