Ben Howard has announced the cancellation of the 2023 North American tour behind his latest album, Is It?, for "personal reasons."
The English singer-songwriter shared the news in a statement posted to his social media channels. "It's with great disappointment that we are sadly having to cancel our upcoming US and Canada Is It? tour," he wrote. "It has been impossibly difficult to arrive at this decision but, due to personal reasons, at the time we are unable to make the trip west."
"We know many of you have already made your travel arrangements and will suffer double the disappointment," Howard continued. "We are really sorry to let so many down but hopefully we can make it up to you all in 2024."
He added that all tickets would be refunded automatically, and thanked his fans for understanding. See the statement below.
Howard was slated to perform back-to-back shows at Toronto's History on October 29 and 30, as well as Vancouver's Orpheum Theatre on November 7.
