Doja Cat will no longer be The Weeknd‘s opening slot for is summer tour due to the need for recovery after tonsil surgery. The “Kiss Me More” artist took to her Instagram Story to tell her fans,
“Hi guys, I wanted you to hear it from me first. Unfortunately I have to have surgery on my tonsils ASAP. The surgery is routine but the recovery is going to take awhile due to swelling. That means I have to cancel my festival run this summer as well as The Weeknd tour. I feel horrible about this but can’t wait for this to heal and get back to making music and create an experience for y’all.”
Doja is not only dropping out of The Weeknd’s tour, which runs from July to September but she is also scheduled to perform at several festivals in the next few months. Based on her current recovery timeline it is possible she will not be performing at the Hangout Festival in Alabama or the U.K.’s Glastonbury Festival next month. She previously hinted at potential “bad news” earlier this week when she detailed her tonsil surgery on Twitter claiming that “it hurt a lot but im ok.”
In the past, Doja has teased fans she wanted to quit music. It remains to be seen when the artist will be ready to go on the road again.
