South American Tyler The Creator fans will have to wait a bit longer to see the Grammy-nominated rapper-producer, as he has announced that he’s canceling the South America leg of his tour.
The Odd Future rapper was scheduled to play Lollapalooza festival legs in Chile, Argentina and Brazil later this month, as well as Festival Estéreo Picnic in Colombia.
However, they took to their Facebook page to announce that he won’t be performing “for personal reasons.” The actual reason hasn’t come to light but, Tyler hit Twitter today to give a strange explanation of sorts.
“hello, im not coming to south america as planned anymore, sucks, i will be there at some point tho, sorry, i know yall was really really looking forward to it, but, uhhh….yeah, sometimes a duck isnt a jean jacket….ill be out there one day, holla * heart emoji*.” He wrote on Twitter.
The rest of the tour which picks up on April 11 at the Shrine Expo Hall in Los Angeles, and includes performances at Coachella, Boston Calling, Sasquatch! and Primavera Sound remains intact, and is scheduled to wrap in Dublin on July 14 at Longitude Festival.
