Ahead of the kick-off of his North American tour in Montreal on Sunday, the French indie music star, 35, canceled all of his remaining 2023 tour dates. The singer-songwriter (who also goes by Redcar, Red and Chris) posted a statement on Instagram, sharing he’s taken ill and was advised by doctors not to tour at this time.

The musician posted an image of text that said, “CHRISTINE AND THE QUEENS REMAINING 2023 TOUR DATES CANCELED,” revealing more context in the following slide and in the caption.

The statement began by giving fans an update about the performer’s health. “Red (aka Christine and the Queens) was taken ill today and on advice of doctors forced to make the difficult decision to cancel all remaining tour dates for 2023,” the statement said.

“The tour was scheduled to resume tonight in Montreal and end in Paris in late November,” the notice continued, announcing refunds will be available upon point of purchase.

In addition to the canceled tour opener in Montreal, the "People, I've Been Sad" artist will no longer play his scheduled shows in Philadelphia, Boston, New York City, Washington, D.C., Toronto and Chicago. Additional European dates in Utrecht, Netherlands and across France will also not go on.

No additional details about Red’s health were shared at this time.

The indie pop star (who’s known for collaborating with acts like Charli XCX and Caroline Polachek) dropped his fourth studio album Paranoïa, Angels, True Love in June. The record features multiple collaborations with Madonna and rapper 070 Shake, as well as co-production by hip-hop producer Mike Dean.

Paranoïa, Angels, True Love arrived less than a year after Christine and the Queens’ third album, Redcar les adorables étoiles (prologue), was released in November 2022.

He had been on the road supporting the album since late May. After playing a handful of festivals, the "Titled" singer set out on a European and U.K. tour from August through mid-September. Christine and the Queens’ remaining tour dates were supposed to last from mid-October until the end of the month, and then resume again in November.

The singer-songwriter shared a statement in a press release about Paranoïa, Angels, True Love upon its announcement earlier this year, saying he pulled a great deal of inspiration from Tony Kushner’s play Angels in America.

“Paranoïa, Angels, True Love is a key towards heart-opening transformation, a prayer towards the self—the one that breathes through all the loves it is made of,” he said.
