A Canadian country star is putting the brakes on his 2026 tour. Colter Wall was set to wow more fans live in promotion of his fifth album, Memories and Empties. Unfortunately, that will no longer be happening.
The singer’s personal life is apparently not going so well at the moment. The Saskatchewan-born singer says that he is “mentally unwell.” As a result, Colter, his crew and band made the difficult decision to pull the plug on the tour. He first garnered serious attention with the release of the EP Imaginary Appalachia in 2015.
Colter Wall is taking an indefinite break from the spotlight
Colter’s personal health and well-being comes first. That’s the message the son of former Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall is delivering to his loyal supporters. On his Instagram account, he announced to fans the decision to end this year’s big tour.
Despite his declining mental health Colter said that he tried to push through this, only making things worse. “We have decided to cancel the remaining shows and take an indefinite hiatus from live music,” Colter shared on his Instagram account. He and his band won’t be coming to Texas, the Midwest and Detroit anymore.
Three of Colter’s songs were previously featured in the fourth season of Yellowstone.
The fifth album of Colter’s features introspective, blue-collar country songs recorded at Nashville’s famed RCA Studio A. For his part Colter has said that his music is a blend between traditional country and folk. His primary focus with his songs is on storytelling rather than production.
His album Western Swing & Waltzes and Other Punchy Songs got to #1 on the UK Country charts. Colter says that anyone with tickets for his tour will get an automatic refund.
