(Paris) The Belgian star Stromae announced on Tuesday on his social networks that he needed “rest” and completely stopped his European tour, already partially stopped and which was to last until December 2023.
“Stromae’s state of health does not allow him to ensure his performance”, indicated his tour producer, Auguri. The 38-year-old artist had already had to take a long break in the past due to burnout. Stromae was to perform in several cities in France, Belgium and Germany.
The 38-year-old artist had already had to take a long break in the past due to burnout.
“I have to accept that this time of rest and remission will be longer than I imagined”, writes the author of the success Tremendous. “It is therefore with immense regret that I will not be able to honor my promise and that I am announcing the end of the Multitude Tower today (Tuesday)”.
Wrung out by an XXL world tour in the wake of the hit album Square root (2013), Stromae had first thrown in the towel at the end of 2015, undermined by depression aggravated by the side effects of an antimalarial drug.
The one who is among the most listened to French-speaking artists in the world was finally back on stage in 2022, to present Multitude. This third album had enabled him to win a sixth and seventh Victoire de la Musique, the French equivalent of the American Grammy Awards.
He had confessed to “suicidal thoughts” in hella piece with a strong autobiographical tone released in 2022.
