“I feel pressures to prioritise a lot of things right now and I need a few days to prioritise my health,” she wrote. “I want to be present when I perform and give the best shows possible. Thank you for understanding.”

All Things Go issued its support for Roan, saying in a statement on X that “health and well-being always comes first”.

“All Things Go strongly supports artists prioritizing their well-being and we ask our community to rally behind Chappell Roan with love and understanding,” the festival wrote in its statement, sharing a screenshot of Roan’s Instagram story. “Let’s continue to show the world that music fans support not only the art, but the artists themselves.”

Since catapulting to fame — and the top of the charts — in recent months, Roan has been vocal about the toll of fame on her mental health.
