PinkPantheress cancels upcoming tour dates to prioritize health

PinkPantheress prioritizes well-being, steps down from Olivia Rodrigo's tour and other global dates.

PinkPantheress, the British pop music sensation known for her viral track "Boy's A Liar pt. 2" with Ice Spice, has shared some disappointing news with her fans. 

On her Instagram Stories, she announced the cancellation of all her planned performances for the remainder of the year. 

"It is with the heaviest heart that I sadly have to announce that I will not be able to continue with the rest of my life shows this year in order to focus on my physical health and overall well-being," she expressed. 

This unexpected announcement means that PinkPantheress will not be appearing at several major music festivals and events, including Field Day, Summer Sonic, and FORM, nor will she complete the Australian, New Zealand legs of her tour or her slated appearances on Olivia Rodrigo's Guts Tour.

Her decision, driven by health concerns, has led to a wave of supportive messages from fans and fellow artists alike. 

On X, fans have been vocal about their support, with messages of love and prayers for her swift recovery. "I'm so glad I got to see her in my hometown and talk to her, I hope she's doing well. Praying for her she's such a sweet soul," shared one fan, echoing the sentiments of many others who have interacted with the artist.

Victoria Beverley Walker, better known by her stage name PinkPantheress, was born on April 18, 2001, in Bath, United Kingdom. 

She started her music career while in high school, using GarageBand to create songs. Initially releasing her music on SoundCloud with modest attention, her breakthrough came when she turned to TikTok. 

There, several of her early songs went viral, leading to significant recognition. 

Her debut album, "To Hell With It," was released in 2021, featuring hits like "Just For Me" and "I Must Apologize," and was followed by a remix album in 2022. 

Her most recent album, "Heaven Knows," and her latest single, "Turn it up," continue to build her reputation as a leading voice in pop music.
