Thebe Neruda Kgositsile, better known by his stage name Earl Sweatshirt, is an American rapper and record producer from Los Angeles who shot to fame due to his creative abilities and ties to the group Odd Future. The artist has unfortunately had to cancel his European shows due to complications that arose with his mental health. Specifically, an announcement was made just hours before he was scheduled to perform at Field Day in London stating that he will not be able to attend. Earl’s representatives sent Pitchfork the following statement to clear his situation up:
“Earl is battling anxiety and depression which has been compounded by the grief from the recent passing of his father. He thought he would be ready to perform but simply is not yet able to. He would like to apologize to his fans and promises to be back as soon as he is able to.”
