Post Malone is hitting pause on his upcoming tour.
The singer made the announcement on Instagram, saying he promised fans new music—but he’s not ready to hit the road just yet.
“I don’t have the time to finish it before tour starts,” Post wrote. “We ain’t ready for tour just yet, so I’m making the decision to push the tour back about 3 weeks to get this music done.”
He said the timing didn’t line up after looking at his schedule following another music festival, adding that he didn’t want to rush the process.

Post also apologized to fans who had tickets to the canceled shows, saying he was excited about “going nuts” with them.
