“I decided to listen to you, to listen to myself, and to take a break,” announced Cowboys Fringants singer Karl Tremblay on Wednesday. So that he can concentrate on his cancer treatments, the group has made the decision to cancel all of its shows planned for this fall.
His European tour which was to begin in November is also postponed. It was the singer who made the announcement in a short video published Wednesday morning on Instagram.
“We are going to cancel our fall shows so that I can concentrate on my treatments, my fitness, my physical and mental recharge,” Karl Tremblay announced to his fans.
Suffering from prostate cancer, the singer had been in poor health since the beginning of the summer, forcing the group to cancel several concerts.
“[I received] a lot of messages saying, ‘Take care of yourself, Karl. Take a break, take care of your health.” I decided to listen to you, to listen to myself, and to take a break,” he shared, thanking the public for the love received following his diagnosis.
“Cowboys shows are demanding. We like it when things move, when people sing, dance with us. I’m going to put some juice back in the tank as they say, and give the treatments a chance to take effect,” he added.
The singer finally addressed a few words to their European fans. “We’ll come see you eventually. I just wanted to tell you that we don’t forget. We love you,” he concluded.
