Pop star Kim Petras announced on Wednesday that she will be canceling her upcoming festival appearances this summer due to unspecified health concerns. Petras took to social media to share the news with her fans, expressing her devastation and assuring them that she is following medical advice.
Despite being set to perform at several festivals this summer, including LadyLand Music Fest, Primavera Sound in Barcelona, Mighty Hoopla, and Capitol Hill Block Party, Petras had to make the difficult decision to step back from these events due to her health issues. Festival organizers expressed their sadness about her absence and wished her a speedy recovery.
After the success of her collaboration with Sam Smith on the song “Unholy,” which reached Number One in the U.S., Petras shared that she sought therapy. She explained that the increased attention and pressure she faced as a result of the hit song led her to prioritize her mental health. Petras emphasized the importance of therapy in managing the demands of the music industry and recommended it to others as a valuable tool for self-care and well-being.
