Kid Cudi blew the Coachella audience away with his epic performance, but it will take some time before he hits the stage again. The Grammy-winning rapper decided to cancel his upcoming tour after breaking his foot at Coachella because the recovery will take longer than expected.

Kid Cudi took to social media to announce he’s heading to surgery for a broken calcaneus following his Coachella performance, and he’s canceling his tour dates to focus on recovery.

“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. There’s just no way I can bounce back in time to give 100%. The injury is much more serious than I thought,” he wrote in a statement on social media.

The rapper thanked his fans for their endless love and support and said he’ll be back with new dates as soon as possible because he can’t wait to be back on the road.

Kid Cudi was supposed to embark on Insano: Engage the Rage World Tour in support of his latest studio album Insano, which came out on January 12. It produced singles “Porsche Topless” and “At the Party” ft. Pharrell Williams and Travis Scott, and its sequel Insano (Nitro Mega) hit the shelves on February 23.
