English musician Yungblud\u2028will no longer be performing at the Cowboys Music Festival in Calgary on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The rock artist said on social media Wednesday evening that he is currently working on himself and \u201ctaking time off at home.\u201d The message was posted on the festival\u2019s Instagram along with a note from his management team saying they \u201cmade the decision as a team to pull Yungblud\u201d from the lineup.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, the artist born Dominic Richard Harrison celebrated his first Grammy win for best rock performance and a number one single on Billboard\u2019s alternative airplay chart with his song \u201cZombie.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last week, Yungblud shared a video of himself getting visibly emotional during a show in Czechia. He wrote in the caption that he had a \u201cbreakdown\u201d after the set, explaining that the \u201chate and disbelief\u201d he\u2019s received from strangers on the Internet have negatively impacted him.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys Music Festival announced that Nelly and Steve Aoki will step in as his replacements.<\/p>\n

Yungblud\u2019s management team says his upcoming scheduled shows will continue, with appearances in Indianapolis and Chicago\u2019s Lollapalooza slated for later this month.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m currently in a place where I\u2019m working on myself and taking time off at home in the UK,\u201d Yungblud\u2019s message to fans read.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m taking this extremely seriously and facing head-on what\u2019s going on for the good of the long term. I will never take any of this for granted, and I will see you all soon. I love you all.\u201d<\/p>\n
