Previously, there were reports that tickets were not selling as expected. There were speculations that this was the reason for pushing back the tour. However, the “Sunflower” creator insists that he wants to work on his new album.
The 30-year-old singer wrote, “Looking at the upcoming schedule after Stagecoach, I came to the realization that what we’re trying to do, and what’s possible, isn’t really lining up. The truth is, I promised y’all beautiful people new music, and I don’t have the time to finish it before the tour starts. We ain’t ready for tour just yet, so I’m making the decision to push the tour back about 3 weeks to get this music done.”
Post Malone continued, “That being said, I’m so sorry to the folks who were planning on coming to the few cancelled shows. I was looking forward to going nuts with y’all. That THAT being said, we been making some badass shit for this double album… and I can’t wait to perform for y’all again.”
