Grimes will not perform at an upcoming Pride event in Washington, D.C.
Taking to her X account on Sunday, the Canadian singer revealed she has canceled her upcoming Pride show due to “family issues.”
“Hello friends, I am so so sorry and regretful to say I have to cancel my pride show in order to deal with family issues,” wrote Grimes, whose real name is Claire Boucher.
She further penned, “I want to say that I am aware the situation has been a great inconvenience to the fans for some time, and I am truly determined to make sure this is no longer the case very soon.”
The 37-year-old songstress further told her fans, “I think the show is still going to be amazing and the lineup is great. I hope this is early enough and gives people enough time if they wish to change their plans. And I *will* make this up to you guys very soon.”
“So much love always, G,” the Welcome to the Opera singer concluded.
World Pride Music Festival, which is set for June 6 and 7, has not announced any replacement for Grimes but did release a statement addressing the singer’s decision to leave the lineup.
“We’re sending love and support to Grimes during this time as she steps away to focus on personal matters,” event organizers said in a statement shared on Instagram Stories. “We fully support her decision and are thinking of her and her family.”
