Yungblud has revealed he’s cancelled his remaining 2025 tour dates, after doctors noticed ‘concerns’ during routine voice and blood tests.
The rock star, 28, had been due to take his Idols World Tour to the US this month, but has now said he is taking a break from performing until the end of the year.
In a lengthy post on Instagram Stories, Yungblud, whose real name is Dominic Harrison, said he was taking the break on doctors orders before he ‘runs himself into the ground.’
The star offered his apologies to his fans who had tickets to shows in Philadelphia, Cleveland, Washington, Mexico City and Latin America, and said their tickets would be refunded, with hopes he can schedule new shows for next year.
Yungblud had been on a world tour to promote his latest album Idols, which dropped in June, and earlier this month received a Grammy nomination for the record in the Best Rock Album category.
He wrote: ‘This year has been truly unbelievable and I feel so lucky and honoured from everything that has happened.

‘This week when I got home off the road, and went to have some tests done (like I usually do) and my voice and blood tests have raised some concerns. I have been ordered by my doctor to take a break from touring until the end of the year.
‘It is my nature to run and run until I run myself to the ground without giving a f**k about anything apart from the music and you guys but this time I’ve been told I have to take it seriously and I can’t f**k around.
‘I’m so sorry to do this. But reluctantly I have to cancel the shows through the end of the year.
‘These include Philadelphia, Cleveland, Washington, Mexico City and Latin America – my heart is broken.
‘I don’t want to do any lasting damage to myself, we are on a journey that I want to last forever.
‘I understand that some of you will be frustrated. I just want you to know that this is so hard for me to do but I promise I will make it up to you.
‘All US tickets will be refunded. If you sign up with an address at the link I will send you a gift. I never take anyone’s love, support or energy for granted. But you know you are everything to me. But I need this time.Â
‘USA I will see you next year. Mexico and Latama we are already looking into my own shows down there that will be more affordable for next year too. It’s gonna be unbelievable. I can’t wait.’

Yungblud’s first show will now be in Sydney in January, before travelling to the UK for the British leg of shows in April.Â
Earlier this month, Yungblud was hailed the ‘most rock and roll’ act in years after being seen smoking before kissing a fan and handing her his cigarette while shirtless.
He sparked concern at the AMAs when he flashed his armpits and pulled faces while joining Steven Tyler and Joe Perry for snaps.
In a continuation of his wild displays, a clip of Yungblud went viral this week in which he was seen approaching a fan in the front row at his show.
While shirtless, the star was seen taking a drag of his cigarette before leaning in to kiss a fan on the cheek and handing it to her.
The moment caused a stir online, with people saying he was ‘so cool’ and could easily be one of the biggest rockstars in the world.
However they all said they had the same issue with Yungblud, that they didn’t like his music.
They wrote: ‘Everything I see about this guy is like. He’s the greatest studier of what actually makes rockstars. its unfortunate about the .. you know… music part.’

‘I don’t know who this is but it’s the most rock n roll thing I’ve seen in 30 years.’
‘Love this guy so much, he could easily be the biggest rockstar in the world if his music wasn’t borderline unlistenable.’
‘I love everything he has going on except his dreadful music. he needs to fix this.’
‘He is so cool I wish his music was good.’
Yungblud and Jack Osbourne recently hit back at ‘bitter and jealous’ critics over the rock star’s tribute performance for Ozzy.
He had a very strong relationship with Ozzy after meeting him in 2022, and it appeared that their relationship grew into an almost father-son type bond.
Ozzy tragically passed away aged 76 on July 22, and Yungblud reportedly gave a moving reading at his funeral.
He also performed at the metal icon’s farewell concert at Birmingham’s Villa Park in June amid his declining health.
