Kim Petras just made a tough call. She's bowing out of her summer festival gigs due to health issues, as she revealed in a heartfelt post on Wednesday. The pop star didn't dive into specifics but shared that her doctors advised her to take a break from the stage for now.
Fans who were gearing up to catch her live at LadyLand Music Fest, Primavera Sound in Barcelona, Mighty Hoopla, and Capitol Hill Block Party will have to wait a bit longer. Despite the setback, Kim promised her fans that she'll bounce back better than ever, showing her love and gratitude for their support.
This news follows Kim's recent hit, "Unholy," with Sam Smith topping the charts. The success brought a tidal wave of attention, leading Kim to seek therapy to cope with the newfound fame. She opened up about feeling overwhelmed by the sudden spotlight and the need to find a balance amidst the chaos.
Kim's candidness about her mental health journey has resonated with many. She emphasized the importance of therapy, especially in high-pressure industries like music. Her message is clear: taking care of your mental well-being is just as crucial as your physical health.
The festivals she was set to perform at, like Primavera Sound Barcelona, expressed their disappointment but also extended their well wishes for her recovery. They're hopeful she'll grace their stages in the future, once she's back on her feet.
For Kim, this is a temporary setback. She's focusing on her health and promising to return to the stage stronger than ever.
