Clairo – whose real name is Claire Elizabeth Cottrill – had been due to play three shows in Toronto.
Taking to X, however, the Atlanta-born vocalist wrote: “Hi everyone, I’m really sorry to inform you that I will be postponing the next three Toronto shows.
“I know this is disappointing to everyone who bought tickets to see me play but I’m struggling with extreme exhaustion and have been advised to go home until our Boston shows.”
She added: “I want you to experience the best show possible, and I’m not in a place to do that right now.
“I will share updates as I have them regarding refunds, a rescheduled show date that will honor your current tickets, etc. Please hold on to your tickets!
“I appreciate your understanding. I will make it up to you!”
The 26-year-old released her debut EP, titled Diary 001, in 2018.
Meanwhile, her third studio album, Charm, was self-released in July 2024.
Following Clairo’s announcement, fans shared their disappointment with the news.
One wrote on an online forum: “i can understand it being a hard call to make but making it before doors open is probably not too much to ask.”
Another added: “2 minutes after doors open is wild. This would turn me from a fan to a non-fan immediately.”
As a third shared: “Happened to me a few years ago when she did her detroit show and I haven’t been able to enjoy her since LOL.”
A fourth chimed in: “i don’t think “exhaustion” is a valid excuse to postpone a show 2 minutes after doors open… if you struggle with mental health wouldn’t you know that before?”
Yet another remarked: “Big yikes.
“Cancelling two minutes after doors open would be enough for me to no longer be a fan honestly.
“I understand they’re human too, but you need to make these kind of decisions in a timely fashion…especially when people have paid hotel rooms or flights.
“Some people even end up using their only PTO available that they’ve saved up all year. Can’t get that back.
“Two minutes after doors open is a disrespectful smack in the face.”
