Chappell Roan pulls out of NYC’s All Things Go festival 1 day before headlining slot
NEW YORK — Chappell Roan isn’t so hot to go to Forest Hills, having pulled out of All Things Go just a day before her headlining slot at Saturday’s Queens festival.
The “HOT TO GO!” singer, 26, announced on Instagram Friday afternoon that she would not be performing at Forest Hills Stadium Sept. 28, nor at the festival’s Columbia, Maryland, stage the following day.
“I apologize to people who have been waiting to see me in NYC & DC this weekend at All Things Go, but I am unable to perform,” Roan, real name Kayleigh Rose Amstutz, said in an Instagram story. “Things have gotten overwhelming over the past few weeks and I am really feeling it.”
The “Pink Pony Club” singer pointed to “pressures to prioritize a lot of things right now and I need a few days to prioritize my health.
“I want to be present when I perform and give the best shows possible,” she continued. “Thank you for understanding. Be back soon.”
In its own social media posts, for which comments were turned off, the festival shared a screengrab of Roan’s announcement and said it was “heartbroken” about the cancellation.
“It’s important to remember that health and well-being always comes first,” said the fest. “All Things Go strongly supports artists prioritizing their well-being and we ask our community to rally around Chappell Roan with love and understanding.”
All Things Go called on fans to “support not just the art, but the artists themselves.”
Roan this week has faced backlash that prompted her to confirm she’s voting for Democratic candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential race, but that “both sides … are both so f–ed up.”
Roan’s cancellation comes just over a month after she slammed “f–ing weird” and “creepy” fans on Aug. 19 for what she described as “abuse and harassment” that has become common fort celebrities with ardent fan bases.
By the end of August, she took an ax to a trio of tour dates in Europe, canceling those in Paris and Amsterdam and pushing another in Berlin to this week over “scheduling conflicts.”
Fans raised eyebrows and theorized the “conflicts” she cited were rehearsals for the Sept. 11 VMAs, where she performed her latest single, “Good Luck, Babe.”
Representatives for Roan and All Things Go did not immediately respond to the Daily News’ requests for comment.
