Poppy Ajudha has been forced to cancel her European tour, which was due to start in November and was supposed to take place on 21 November at the Botanique in Brussels.
In a statement posted on her social networks, the young singer explained that being a totally independent and self-produced artist, she unfortunately does not have the funds to go on tour right now. She will still make a date on November 9 in London, where she lives.
You can read the full statement below :
“I’m devastated to say this but I need to cancel my forthcoming UK and EU tour. I’m an independent, self funded artist and despite putting in lots of my own money to get to this stage, and always wanting to give you guys the best of what I can do, the current cost of living crisis, the effect of Brexit on touring musicians, and now the collapse of the pound recently has made my tour unsustainable. I’ve waited so long do this and am aching to perform the album for you so I’m beyond gutted, but I hope you all understand this difficult decision.
The only show I will be playing is London on the 9th of November – now at Bush Hall, instead of Heaven. It will be extra special, and I can’t wait to see you.
For all other shows please contact your point of purchase for a refund.
I’m so sorry I won’t see all of your beautiful faces this time around, but hope I get to see you again very soon!
All my love
Poppy”
Unfortunately, this is already the second time that Poppy Ajudha has had to cancel her European tour this year.
