Chance The Rapper cancelt tour dit keer definitief

‘The Big Tour’, bedoeld om zijn debuutalbum ‘The Big Day’ te ondersteunen, was oorspronkelijk gepland in september. Maar enkele dagen voordat de tour zou beginnen, annuleerde Chance de datums om tijd met zijn pasgeboren dochter door te brengen.

Nu zijn de opnieuw geplande datums – die in januari van start zouden gaan – ook geannuleerd.

Chance schreef op Instagram: “Hey guys I’ve decided to cancel the Big Tour. I know it sucks and its been a lot of back and forth with reschedules and rerouting, but it’s for the best. I’m gonna take this time to be with family, make some new music and develop my best show to date.

“I’m deeply sorry to anyone with a ticket who has supported me this past decade by coming to a show and rocking out with me and I feel even worse for anyone who was planning on making this their first Chance concert.

“Thank you all for an amazing year, and a huge thanks to my team and family for being so strong through this whole year. I promise to come back much stronger and better in 2020 and hope to see some of you guys there. I truly love you and God bless.”

In augustus trad Chance op met Death Cab For Cutie op het podium van Lollapalooza voor het live debuut van hun recente samenwerking ‘Do You Remember’.

Chance maakte op de tweede avond van het Chicago-festival een verrassende verschijning en zei tegen het publiek: “I think this might be a moment in history,” voordat hij bij Ben Gibbons en co. op stage kwam voor een uitvoering van hun nieuwe nummer.

Death Cab legde uit hoe de samenwerking destijds tot stand kwam: “It all started with a, well, chance encounter three years ago backstage at Bonnaroo. Turns out that we and Chance The Rapper had a bit of a mutual admiration society going on, and we had a very fun hang in our dressing room.”

In een drie-sterrenreview van het nieuwste album van Chance zei NME: “Despite the affirmation of the things Chance loves, walking away from ‘The Big Day’, you’re left with a sense of disappointment. It ends up falling flat in its larger vision.

“…‘The Big Day’ showcases the extent of Chance’s talents – which are never in doubt – but, as a whole, the album doesn’t possess the depth that made his past work vital.”
