Chance the Rapper was about to kick off his The Big Day tour, but the rapper has now postponed the entire trek. As Chance has explained, the tour will now take place in 2020 so he can focus on his growing family life.
This morning, Chance shared the following message about the decision to delay the tour:
I thought it over for the past week and I've decided to push back my tour. This year has been one of the greatest of my life; Marriage, new baby, first album etc. But with it being so eventful it has also been very strenuous having to divide my time and energy between family and work. When Kensli was born, I went on tour 2 weeks later and missed some of the most important milestones in her life, but more importantly I was absent when her mother needed me the most. At this point as a husband and father of two I realize that I can't make that mistake again. I need to be as helpful and available as possible to my wife in these early months of raising Kensli and Marli. I apologize because I know how many people were counting on seeing me soon, but I hope you'll understand and forgive me in time. Tour kicks off Jan. 15th and you can still get tix or your refund if you are unavailable at chanceraps.com & a few of the shows are still being rescheduled as well so stay tuned. I love you guys AND LITERALLY CANT WAIT FOR U TO WITNESS THIS SHOW
The newly rescheduled tour will now kick off on January 15, 2020, in San Diego, CA. It will still make Canadian stops in Toronto now on February 12 and Montreal now on February 13, but the previously announced Ottawa show will be rescheduled at a later date.
