Tough times for Ryan Adams

Ryan Adams will not hold his upcoming European tour, with organizers announcing that all concerts have been pulled from the schedule just days after the singer admitted he was financially exhausted and struggling with health issues.

A statement released by the tour organizer said the 51-year-old musician is doing well and is currently focused on completing his trilogy of albums.

"Due to circumstances beyond our control, Ryan Adams' upcoming European tour has been canceled. We apologize to everyone who purchased tickets and were looking forward to these concerts. The money for purchased tickets will be automatically refunded... Ryan is well and working hard on completing a new trilogy of albums. New music is coming soon," the statement said.

Adams shared the post and added a short message:

"Tough times. I was sick. The fall tour was canceled."

The news came shortly after the “Gold” hitmaker revealed that he was forced to sell much of his musical equipment in order to survive financially and continue recording new albums.

In a heartfelt message to his fans, he admitted that he was "spending no money, sick, tired and defeated," and that selling his precious equipment was the only way to survive and continue making music.

"I'm grateful to anyone who can give these precious things a new lease of life. I'm proud to have done this and to have stayed honest. This industry is disgusting and full of snakes. But I'm proud to be outspoken about it. I'll keep making albums as long as I can afford them," Adams wrote.

At the end of the message, he admitted that he planned to sit in the sun with his cats and cry.

"I don't know how many more times I can hit the same wall. When will enough be enough?" he wrote.

Adams also found himself in the spotlight in 2019, when The New York Times published an article in which multiple women accused him of manipulative behavior and emotional abuse.

He later publicly apologized for his behavior, but did not personally address the women who made the allegations.

"In an effort to become a better person, I have fought to stay sober, and this time I am doing so with professional help. Sobriety is a priority in my life, as is mental health. I have come to realize that the two go hand in hand. There are no words that can express how sorry I am for the way I have treated people throughout my life and career. All I can say is that I am sorry," he said at the time.

After the scandal, he publicly appealed to record companies to give him a second chance, admitting that he was just months away from losing his house, recording studio and his independent record label.
