Rizzle Kicks cancel tour as Harley receives treatment for anxiety
The hip hop duo quit upcoming tour due to rapper’s health concerns
RIZZLE Kicks have announced they are cancelling their latest tour - because of Harley Alexander-Sule's anxiety.
One half of the hip hop pair Jordan Stephens took to their Twitter page and revealed they wouldn’t be fulfilling their upcoming gigs.
The 24-year-old said: “I know it’s a bit s**t but Harley and I are cancelling the Rizzle Kicks Nov/Dec UK tour.
“We’re going to record a video to reaffirm why and emphasise our frustration but ultimately these are the reasons:
“We haven’t released our album yet.
“We lost a few months of promo whilst Harley began to really struggle with GAD (Generalised Anxiety Disorder).
"The music game’s changing big time and similarly we lost ground when stepping off the beaten track. (Even though no one really knows what that track is)."
He went on to say:“On a more positive note: We actually have made some really good music that we will be continuously drip feeding over the coming months and definitely giving you for free at points because it’s ridiculous how long this has all dragged out.
"Harley is receiving help for his anxiety and I’m documenting the process myself to raise awareness and hopefully help out others in a similar situation.
"When we rebook the tour it’ll be off the back of a solid piece of work that we’ve already made instead of working towards.
“We’re seriously not happy that we’re letting so many people down but we will only use November and December to ensure that 2017 flies as smoothly as possible - and that we’re completely happy and that we feel balanced and that we’re not coaxed into making anymore rash decisions.
