“This years tour has been nothing short of unbelievable y’all… LIKE THE CRAZIEST SHOWS OF MY LIFE… and I thought why would we stop now?! LETS KEEP IT GOINGGG…👀”

The tour officially kicked off in February and made more than two dozen stops around the United States.

Beginning on August 27th, the “Rock And A Hard Place” singer was set to travel across the pond for ten shows in the United Kingdom, Germany, Sweden, Norway, and the Netherlands.
