Yungblud has pulled out of a festival slot to prioritise his well-being days after breaking down onstage.<\/p>\n
\nThe Fleabag rocker was due to perform at Cowboys Music Festival in Calgary, Canada on Sunday (12.07.26), but after opening about feeling overwhelmed, he has cancelled his set and is spending time at home in the UK.<\/p>\n
\nIn a statement, Yungblud – whose real name is Dominic Harrison – said: \u201cTo all my family in Canada, I apologise for not being there with you all this weekend – I\u2019m currently in a place where I\u2019m working on myself and taking time off at home in the UK.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI\u2019m taking this extremely seriously and facing head on what\u2019s going on for the good of the long term.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI will never take any of this for granted and I will see you all soon. I love you all.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nYungblud bawled his eyes out during his recent performance at Bludfest in Czechia, stopping the show to tell fans he has been struggling with overwhelming feelings of disconnection and pain.<\/p>\n
\nThe 28-year-old star has faced his fair share of criticism over the years, and admitted that seeing his fans’ faces has been one of the few things that makes him feel “safe” from the outside world.<\/p>\n
\nHe told the crowd at Park 360 on June 27: \u201cLately, I have felt so disconnected from everything. I have been trying my best to wake up every day. I have felt in pain a lot and I don\u2019t know why for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nHe continued: \u201cEvery time I find your faces, every time I find your eyes, every time I look at you, I know that I belong somewhere. And to feel safe from the outside world is something that I can never thank you enough for.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nYungblud then promised fans he would stand by them during their own difficult moments.<\/p>\n
\nHe said: \u00a0\u201cAll I wanna say is that this is for your family. If you are ever scared, if you are ever frightened, if you are ever threatened, we will be there. I will f****** be there for you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nAfter the show, he shared his mid-concert breakdown on Instagram alongside a lengthy caption explaining why he chose to post the moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nHe said: “Honestly, I\u2019ve been debating whether or not I should post this clip because I don\u2019t want it to feel disingenuous like I\u2019m doing it for a reason like clicks or personal gain but at the end of the day this is what happened and it\u2019s genuine so I thought f*** it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe Zombie singer said the breakdown was the result of emotions he has been unable to process over the past year.<\/p>\n
\nYungblud said: \u201cRecently, I\u2019ve been really struggling and this moment is a byproduct of my body releasing the wave of emotion that has hit me in the past year\u2026 When I got off this stage I felt elated but 20 minutes later when I was in the shower on my own I had a breakdown.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nYungblud reflected on the pressures of modern artistry, saying the pace of the industry leaves little room to process anything. He also addressed the negativity he receives online, writing that \u201chate and disbelief\u201d from strangers and other musicians has weighed heavily on him.<\/p>\n
\nHe ended by saying he felt \u201cvalidated\u201d after reading a recent article praising him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Yungblud has pulled out of a festival slot to prioritise his well-being days after breaking down onstage.
