Kid Cudi has been forced to cancel his tour after breaking his foot at Coachella over the weekend. During the fest’s Weekend Two on Sunday night, the rapper went to the hospital with a broken foot after jumping off the stage at the Sahara Tent.
But it seems the injury was more serious than he initially thought, and on Wednesday, the rapper announced that he must now undergo surgery. “I have a broken calcaneus,” the rapper posted on social media . “I’m headed to surgery now and there’s gonna be a long recovery time. We have to cancel the tour so I can focus on getting better to be out there in top shape to rage with you all.”
He added that he would not be able to give 100 percent during his performance due to the recovery time. “The injury is much more serious than I thought.” Ticketholders will get refunded, per his post.
“We will be back with new tour dates as soon as possible, and I can’t wait to get back out there with you guys and turn up how we do,” he wrote. “I’m so sorry fam and I love you so much, thanks for the endless love and support. I’m really disappointed as I’m sure you guys are too, but I will be back. That’s a promise.”
He said that he still has “soreness” due the fall, but that he is generally in good spirits.
Kid Cudi was set to embark on a world tour in support of Insano with opener Pusha T. It was initially meant to kick off its North American leg on July 28 in Austin, Texas, at Moody Center. The tour was set to head to Europe and the U.K. in 2025.
