Colter Wall Taking 'Indefinite Hiatus From Live Music,' Cancels Shows Colter Wall, the Saskatchewan-born singer-songwriter known for his 2017 self-titled album and tracks like “Kate McCannon” and “Motorcycle,” has announced he is stepping away from live performances indefinitely. The decision comes as he cancels the remainder of his 2026 tour, citing the need to prioritize his mental health. Wall shared the news in a social media post on Wednesday, revealing that his mental state has deteriorated despite his efforts to continue touring. In the post, Wall wrote, “The truth is that I am mentally unwell. Despite this, I have pushed myself to continue with touring. As a result, my mental health has only further declined.” He explained that after discussions with his team, they have decided to cancel the remaining shows supporting his album Memories and Empties. “We have decided to cancel the remaining shows and take an indefinite hiatus from live music,” he added, thanking fans for their support. Wall’s announcement highlights the growing awareness of mental health challenges within the music industry. Similar to other artists like Ella Langley, Hardy, and Wyatt Flores, he has openly discussed the emotional toll of touring. Flores, for instance, reflected on the pressure of success in a 2024 interview, saying, “My dreams were coming true so fast, I didn’t even have time to think about them. I’d just wonder, ‘Why was I even dreaming about that?’ and that’s a bad mindset to have when you’re getting to do something you’ve wanted to do since you were a kid.” Wall’s decision to pause his career underscores the importance of self-care in a profession that often demands constant travel and performance.#mental_health #colter_wall #memories_and_empties #saskatchewan #rolling_stone
