Chicago DJ Whethan has been forced to cancel his remaining scheduled appearances at Listen Out Festival. In a statement uploaded to social media on Sunday, the producer cited health issues as the reason for the cancellation.
“I’ve never had to do this before and it is beyond saddening,” the statement reads.
“Mentally I am in a place right now that is very worrisome to myself and my team. I’ve been advised to cancel these shows and try to get some rest back home. Right now I need to take time to focus on my mental and physical health again.
“I promise next time I’m back I will make it up to you.”
Whethen wasn’t the only cancellation Listen Out has been plagued with. Rapper Denzel Curry was forced to cancel his appearance at the Melbourne leg of the tour after he fell ill. Thankfully, Curry managed to make enough of a recovery to perform at the Brisbane and Perth festival stints.
Listen Out will grace Centennial Park in Sydney this weekend for the final leg of the tour. You can find the full lineup and more information below.
