Tayler Holder canceled his upcoming performance dates to focus on his health.
The country artist, 28, opened up in a vulnerable statement he shared on Instagram, captioned: “I’m sorry 💔.” Holder said it’s “one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make… Over the past several months, I’ve been in a constant struggle with my mental health in ways that I can no longer ignore. I’ve tried for a while now to put my head down and just push through this and give everything I have to the music and the people who support me, but truthfully I’ve reached my limit right now and I need to take a step back and focus on getting healthy.
“I’m doing everything I’ve ever dreamed of and I still feel so lonely, still feel so unfulfilled,” he continued. “Performing for you guys is the greatest privilege of my life, and this decision was not made lightly. I know many of you made plans, spent money, and were looking forward to these nights together. And I’m deeply sorry for the disappointment this causes.
“I’m taking this time to rest, seek support, and reconnect with myself away from the pressure and pace of touring,” Holder said. “My hope is that this break will allow me to return stronger, healthier, and able to give you guys the performances you deserve. Thank you for your patience, compassion, and continued support. It means more than you’ll ever know. Please take care of yourselves and each other. Talk to y’all soon. ❤️”
